The great burial mound of La Croix-Madame

The two preserved burial mounds of La Croix-Madame ( French Tertres de la Croix-Madame ) are located west of Saint-Just in the southwest of the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in France .

The first hill is 0.50 m high, about 22.0 m long and at the eastern end more than 10 m and at the western end less than 7 m wide. About 30 blocks on the surface form an almost rectangular enclosure about 17.0 m long and 3.0 to 4.0 m wide. Other slates of slate lie on the surface.

Further to the east is a round hill with a diameter of 10.0 to 12.0 m from which two stone blocks protrude.
