Ty-ar-C'huré
Ty-ar-C'huré ( German "House of the Priest" ) is a stone enclosure ( French Enceinte ) near Morgat on the Crozon peninsula in the Finistère department in Brittany in France .
The state-owned stone rows of Ty-ar-C'huré, which are under monument protection and overgrown by gorse and bracken, in a pine forest , were ceded to the city in 2008. The stones, which stretch for more than 700 meters and have several crossing lines, are a structure of prehistoric times , the purpose of which is unclear.
Chevalier de Fréminville was the first to report the existence of this facility in 1835. For him, the square ( quadrilatère ) formed by a double row of stones was the home of a druid . This hypothesis was inspired by the Breton name of the place. Research has stalled since then.
Nearby is the Rostudel dolmen .
