Raw Koh Koed

The dolmen of Roh-Koh-Koed (also called Allée couverte of Roh-Koh-Koët Dolmen of Kerherne-Bodunan or Allee couverte Le Bignon) is a gallery grave remnant near Saint-Jean-Brévelay in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France . The megalithic complex is located on a hill in an oak forest in the Landes de Lanvaux not far from the Dolmen Larcuste on the “Circuit des Dolmens de Lanvaux” in the “Bois de Goh-Menhir” (forest). In France, dolmen is the generic term for megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).

The north-west-south-east oriented gallery is severely disturbed and had a length of about 8.0 m. The chamber was about 4.0 m long and 2.5 m wide. A few bearing and cap stones are still present, but not in situ . The only ceiling plate that rests on a support measures 5.5 × 3.5 meters and has a few bowls . The two menhirs at their ends are not original.
