from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Île-d'Arz in the middle of the Golfe du Morbihan

The at least three Dolmen de la Pointe de Liouse (also called Pen-Lious; Pen-Louis; Pen-Liouze) are located in the extreme south of the Île d'Arz in the Gulf of Morbihan 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).

Three destroyed dolmens lie by the sea, in a light forest, embedded in a large stone dam. The middle dolmen is the best preserved. It has some eroded engravings. The many scattered stones are the remains of other megalithic structures, but do not form a complete picture.

The three megalithic complexes were excavated in 1884 and contained pottery, flint fragments and hatchets that are in the Musée d'Histoire et d'Archéologie in Vannes . The objects helped the monuments to the Neolithic between 4000 and 2500 BC. Assigned to Chr.

About 1.5 km to the north is the Dolmen of Pen Raz.
