The double dolmen ( French Double dolmen à couloir ) of Pointe de Toulvern (also called Dolmen de la Pointe-de-Toulvern) is located south of Toulvern and Baden in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France . In France, dolmen is the generic term for Neolithic megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).

The corridor is Y-shaped at the front and leads to two chambers that share the same entrance, which is very unusual. The southern chamber is roughly D-shaped while the northern chamber is trapezoidal and widens towards the end.

Many large capstones of the corridor, remains of dry stone masonry and some slabs that have collapsed into the southern chamber have been preserved. The approximately 3.0 m high tumulus is clearly visible. The Dolmen du Pechim Département Lot is also known as a double dolmen , but there are only two separate dolmens in the same hill.

The complex was classified as a Monument historique in 1980 .

To the south are the Mané-Ven-Guen dolmens .
