Mané-Kervilor dolmen
The three dolmens of Mané-Kervilor (also called dolmen of Mané-Bras ) are dolmens in the remains of a cairn in a forest north of the hamlet of Kermarquer and about 250 meters southwest of the hamlet of Kervilor, north of La Trinité-sur-Mer 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 ).
description
In the originally oval stone mound from the Neolithic Age , three gallery pillars ( Allée couverte or Dolmen à couloir ) can be seen.
- Dolmen 1 in the west no longer has its cover plates. The corridor, about six meters long, leads into an oval chamber measuring about four by three meters.
- Dolmen 2 in the middle still has three cap stones, two above the corridor, the third forms part of the ceiling of the chamber.
- The third dolmen, in the east, still has two cap stones, one above the four-meter long corridor, the other above the chamber. The chamber measures about three by three meters.
The dolmens were classified as a monument historique in 1927 . The Quéric La Lande , Mané Rohr (Kerdro-Vihan), Kermarquer and the Allée couverte Mané-Roullarde are up to a kilometer away .
