Menhir de la Pointe du Chevet
The Menhir de la Pointe du Chevet (also known as Chef de l'Île or Menhir Duédal ) is located on the Pointe du Chevet beach, north of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer near Dinard in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in France .
The Neolithic menhir was discovered by Michel Duédal in early 2001. It has not yet been investigated. It also bears the name of its discoverer, a local archaeologist.
The lying granite menhir in the form of an obelisk is about 5.2 m long and has bowls on its surface . It was undermined by the rise in sea level and fell over.
On the offshore archipelago des Ébihens, which belongs to the municipality, stood the two deux menhirs that had gone out. Like a gallery grave in the village, they are part of the “Inventaire des Mégalithes détruits en Cotes D'Armor”.
