Allée couverte from Loch-ar-Ronfl
The Allée couverte von Loch-ar-Ronfl (also called Guele Ar Ronfl - German bed or house of the giant - or Allée couverte von Kerriou ) is located in a forest north of Gouézec near Quimper in the Finistère department in Brittany in France .
The narrow gallery grave made of slate blocks is about 16 meters long and, despite the inclination of many bearing stones, there are still seven cap stones. The system had an antechamber that was only partially preserved.
The excavations of 1868 revealed two large polished stone axes .
