Allée couverte by Roherman

The Allée couverte by Roherman (also known as La Roche des Fées or "Niche à Gobineau" - another name for the devil -) was discovered in 1825 and is located east of Augan , near the N24 on the edge of the "Camp de Saint-Cry Coëtquidan" training area "Bois du Loup" (German wolf forest) near Ploërmel in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France .

The somewhat unstable gallery grave , about 7.0 m long and 1.2 m wide, consists of eleven purple slate slabs , including three shifted ceiling slabs. The megalithic complex gives the impression of an "Allée couverte arc-boutée". or "Allée couverte à dalles inclinées", which it is not.

The destroyed Allée Couverte von Brambelay is located near Les Vaux.
