On the Île de Bannec (also Baneg or Banneck), the Île de Balanec, the Île de Béniguet (remains of three Allée couvertes ), the Île de Triélin (tumuli and dolmen remains ) and the double island of Île de Lédénes-Quéménès with one after a storm The megalithic site , which is one of the oldest in the region, was only discovered in 2008 , and the sites at Beg ar Groarc'h make the archipelago one of the densest sites in Finistère. The disturbed dolmen consists of five stones. It's in a hill. A few scattered slabs may be remains of the dolmen. The second place is a hill about 43.0 m long, 9.5 m wide and 0.3 m high.
