Kerporhell dolmen
The Dolmen of Kerporhell (also called Kerporhel, Kerporel, or Kerven) is located in the forest east of Riantec and Kerven, north of Kerporel on the Petite mer de Gâvres 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 ).
Only a delicate ceiling slab on three supporting stones has survived from the dolmen. Two more plates are visible in the remains of the mound, on the ground.
The Dolmen de Locjeann is 950 m north.
