Lostmarc'h Stone Row
The stone row of Lostmarc'h ( French Alignement de Lostmarc'h ) stands at the Pointe de Lostmarc'h near Crozon on the Crozon Peninsula in the Finistère department in Brittany in France .
The peninsula was one of the places where prehistoric people built their sanctuaries ( Dolmen of Rostudel , Dolmen of Pen-ar-Run , Menhir la Républicaine, rows of stones from Lagatjar ). They are known thanks to the descriptions of Christophe Paulin de la Poix de Fréminville , Chevalier de Fréminville (1787–1848) and Jean-Marie Bachelot de La Pylaie (1786–1856) and were still in 1830 grandiose complexes.
A row of eight stones is aligned across the headland overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. None of the stones are more than a meter high and they are about six meters apart. Several stones lying around are perhaps the remains of other rows.
- Menhir of Lostmarc'h
The Lostmarc'h menhir stands near the row and is clearly fused with it, if not part of it. It is about 2.8 meters high and stands in a commanding position near the tip of the headland.
The foothills fort is located directly below the headland at the Pointe de Lostmarc'h .
