Menhirs of Kerangosquer
The two menhirs of Kerangosquer stand in the forest southwest of Pont-Aven near Concarneau in Cornouaille in the Finistère department in Brittany in France .
The "Grand menhir de Kerangosker" is about 5.5 m high. Deeper in the forest, 130 m away, there is a second menhir, 3.0 m high.
Nearby are the Brucou dolmen and, to the northwest of Pont-Aven, the Allée couverte by Coat Luzuen .
