Runesto dolmen
The Dolmen of Runesto (also called Er Roc'h) is located in a small hill, right next to a side road that leads from the village of Runesto near Plouharnel in the direction of the D 768 that goes from Plouharnel to Auray in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France , runs. In France, dolmen is the generic term for megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).
Eight bearing stones of a high chamber measuring approximately 3.0 × 3.0 m and a three-point capstone have been preserved from the sunk dolmen . The access area is missing, instead a modern staircase leads down. What is striking is how closely (without intermediate masonry ) the bearing stones were set up here. There are traces of a rock carving near the entrance showing an ax . To the east (across the street) are two large stones that may be related to the dolmen.
The Mané Kerioned dolmens are about a kilometer away .
