Kerlescan Alignements submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2004. Kerlescan Alignements, northeast of Carnac, Brittany.
This picture was taken looking east in 1987, when wandering amongst the stones was OK. I think many of them have been fenced off to try and combat erosion these days. I must go back sometime.

Kerlescan Tertre and menhir submitted by LizH on 31st Oct 2007. This stone stands at the west end of the Kerlescan rows, but to the north of them, at the western end of what was once a tumulus.
The small bear (Barnaby) at the bottom is from Hallbankgate school and is making a tour of pre-historic sites!

View of the Ménec alignements as they were in summer 1987, when you could walk amongst them before they were fenced off, and with an awful lot of erosion going on around them.

Log Text: First visit after 30 years. Its all more slick now with the visitor centre ( which a tually has very little about the stones, their layout etc. I understood more about the cromlechs - semi circular stone circles at the end of the sets of rows - theres some remaining evidence of them. But would be great to have an idea of how they looked.

St-Pierre-Quiberon Alignement submitted by thecaptain on 12th Jun 2006. Out on the Quiberon Peninsula, near to the Kerbourgnec cromlech can be found a pleasant little park with the remains of these alignements in it.
The stones are of all shapes and sizes, up to 4 metres tall. There's a lovely curved "sharks fin" in front of me as I sat and wrote this, and a diamond to my right. These stones are wonderful, and its lovely to be able to just sit amongst them.
