Menhir from Kervintic

The menhir of Kervintic stood at least until at least 1881 about 400 m west of the Kervintic farm, southwest of Plobannalec-Lesconil near Pont l'Abbé in Cornouaille in the Finistère department in Brittany in France .

It was about 3.9 meters high, was drawn by Paul du Châtellier (1833–1911) in 1881 and later destroyed. Chatellier reported two or three small menhirs nearby.

The dolmen of Kervignon , the two dolmens of Kervadol and that of Quélarn are megalithic structures near the municipality.
