The dolmen at Pointe Er Hourél (also called Er-Houel; Er-Houtél or Dolmen de St-Pierre-Loperec) is located in a small pine forest near the sea, south of the hamlet of Saint-Pierre, southwest of Locmariaquer in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France . In France, dolmen is the generic term for Neolithic megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).

The Neolithic dolmen is badly damaged. Only three bearing stones have been preserved, which are located around the cambered capstone of the approximately 2.0 meter wide chamber. The floor of the chamber is paved. How long the dolmen was and what type it embodies cannot be determined.

The Kerlud and Kercadoret dolmens are nearby .
