The Allée couverte by Rocher Jacquot (also called Rocher Jacqaut ) is located in Saint-Germain-en-Coglès , northwest of Fougères on the D17 road in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in France .
The north-west-south-east oriented gallery grave is severely disturbed , only one capstone is in situ and 12 bearing stones stand or lie over a length of about 10 m. It looks like there are several corridors and chambers within the hill, but only traces of them survive. It is the only preserved gallery grave at this point; the other complex disappeared in the 1960s.
Various ceramics and a copper dagger from around 2000 BC Were found.
The gallery was declared a monument historique in 1921 .
There are several megalithic sites around Fougères . Among other things, the Pierre Courcoulée , the Pierre du Trésor and the Cordon des Druides .
