La Roche des Fées (Coudraie)
The Allée couverte La Roche des Fées (also called Allée couverte de la Coudraie ) is located about 100 m east of the hamlet of Coudraie, south of Augan , near Ploërmel in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France .
La Roche des Fées is a disturbed gallery grave made of red slate . The approximately 15.0 m long and 2.0 m wide megalithic complex is north-south oriented. It consists of five ceiling tiles, mostly lying on the ground, and eight preserved supporting stones. The access is in the south. At the northern end there is a natural outcrop that serves as the end plate of the system.
The complex has not yet been subjected to any archaeological excavation. However, it is listed in two contemporary studies, including the inventory of megalithic sites of the Pays de Guer .
The menhir Chomet de Coëplan in the forest west of Guer is nearby.
