Dolmen de Kermané

The Neolithic dolmen of Kermané (also called Roh-Vras-de-Pourhos) is located between the hamlets of Kermané and Kerangoff, north of Saint-Philibert 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 restored passage dolmen ( French dolmen à couloir ) is only preserved as a chamber without a passage. The divided ceiling plate, supported by eight orthostats and a steel rod, measures around 4.0 × 3.0 m.

The dolmen has been classified as a monument historique since 1927 .
