The Allée couverte of Pir Han (also known as the Dolmen of Pir Han , Les Mines Pir Han , Feuillay or Pierres Cavalan ) is located south of the Chère River and south of Sion-les-Mines , near Châteaubriant in the Loire-Atlantique department in France .

The remains of this gallery grave consist of five sandstone blocks with a maximum height of 1.0 m. In 1887 there was another block in the form of a rectangular plate with a height of about 1.5 m. In 1953 an approximately two meter high square slab was removed and relocated to the Calvaire of Sion-les-Mines. It is the menhir erected at the foot of the Calvary next to another offset block .

Nearby are the Alignement de la Grée Galot and the Menhirs du Calvaire de Sion-les-Mines .
