The menhir of Creac'h-an-Archant (also called Menez Crec'h An Arhan , Menhir von Kerivoa , Menhir von Krec'h an Arc'hant or Crec'h-ar-Argant ) stands south of the hamlet of Kerivoa in the municipality Bourbriac in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in France .
The menhir is 5.2 m high, 2.35 m wide and 1.25 m thick. At a height of 1.5 m, it has a circumference of 5.8 m and is made of granite . In the 19th century it was still surrounded by small menhirs.
The Allée couverte of Creac'h-an-Archant is about 200 m away . It is likely that she belongs to the same group. The collapsed gallery grave lies next to the road on the north side of a low hill.
