Cromlech from Crucuny
_7550.JPG)
The Neolithic cromlech of Crucuny (also known as Toul-er-Lann, Champ de la Croix or Parc-er-Groez), not to be confused with the cromlech of Crucuno , is a cromlech or stone circle south of Ploemel in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France . It is located south of the hamlet of Crucuny on the road to the hamlet of Toul-er-Lann.
These are the remains of a stone circle with a diameter of 40 to 50 m, which is now used as the property boundary. The remains consist of about 30 stones, spread over 80 m. The stone circle could have been more handsome, as an isolated menhir suggests, which was believed to be an element of the cromlech. Three of the stones are engraved.

Cromlechs in Northern France
Two stone enclosures are in the forest near Kerlescan . At the western end of the row of stones at Le Menec near Carnac , you can see a cromlech, also only partially preserved, which is cut up by the - probably younger - rows of stones. Other stone circles can be found in the Finistère department . The Cromlech of Kergonan and the stone circles of Er Lannic , both on the islands of the Morbihan, are among the few large stone circles in the department .
