The Dolmen of Kermorvant (also called Dolmen of Resto ), placed under protection in 1992, is located on a side road in the southwest of Moustoir-Ac in the arrondissement of Pontivy in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France . The complex dates back to the Neolithic , around 3000–2700 BC. In France , dolmen is the generic term for megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).
The simple dolmen ( French dolmen simple ) has been preserved in remains. It consists of four supporting stones and the approximately round ceiling plate with a diameter of about 2.5 meters. There are several other stones in the area. So it is possible that this is the end of an Allée couverte , the front area of which was destroyed by road construction.
Nearby are the Menhir Menhir by Cosquéro , Menhir by Kermarquer and Menhir du Mené .
