Cosquer Dolmen (Plouharnel)
The Dolmen of Cosquer (also called Dolmen de Gohquer , Er Mané or Chapelle de Cosquer ) is located in a curve of the Cosquer road, in the hamlet of Le Cosquer north of Plouharnel 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 corridor dolmen ( French dolmen à couloir ) examined by Zacharie Le Rouzic (1864–1939) has a polygonal chamber with a large overlying capstone and a corridor opening to the south.
To the south, near the railway line, is the Cosquer 2 dolmen.
