Allée couverte from Kerlescan Nord

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Allée couverte of Kerlescan Nord (also called Allée couverte of Kerlescan ) is located in a forest, north of the eastern end of the stone rows of Kerlescan , northeast of Carnac in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France .

The tumulus , completely surrounded by its stone wreath, is angular at the western end and rounded at the eastern end. It is about 60.0 meters long, 8.0 meters wide and 2.0 to 3.0 meters high. In the hill there is an approximately 16.0 meter long, gallery grave- like structure. Only the keystone at the western end of the chamber's supporting and cap stones has been preserved. The side access to the gallery is on the south side, near the east end.

Nearby are the Kerlescan Cromlechs .
