Ti Ar Boutiged
Ti Ar Boutiged (also Maison des fées - German House of the Fairies ) is a V-shaped dolmen (after J. L'Helgouach). It is located in the village of Bellevue, north of Brennilis in the Finistère department , in Brittany in France . The megalithic complex is dated 3000 BC. Dated. The building, which faces southeast, was disrupted early on.
In France, dolmen is the generic term for megalithic structures of all kinds, not just for the stone table resting on pillars (see: French nomenclature ). In addition to the simple form, more complex structures have also been built since the beginning (around 4500 BC).
Ti Ar Boutiged is enclosed by a long hill which was framed by curbs. Of them, only those on the north side are left. The chamber is 13.4 m long. A narrow entrance (80 cm) divides it into an open-topped vestibule about five meters long and an expanding room covered with three huge granite slabs , in which a central pillar is set up. Similar structures can only be found near Málaga in Spain ( Dolmen de Menga ).
Other V-shaped dolmens such as Keristin-ar-Hoat-Milieu in Concarneau , Crugou in Saint-Lyphard or Rhun in Treffiagat contained pottery from the later Neolithic .
The Ti Ar Boutiged dolmen is located in the mountains of the Monts d'Arrée , which have been inhabited since ancient times. Numerous worked flints and other dolmens are evidence of this era. The people of the Bronze Age , who also built tumuli here, found deposits of metal ores near Huelgoat.
This is also where Leïtan's alignment lies . The Osismier built the 32-hectare oppidum Camp d'Artus nearby .
