Kermario Dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2004. Kermario Dolmen, north of Carnac, Brittany.
View of the Kermario Dolmen which is right at the southwest corner of the Kermario Alignements, and right in the corner of the road which skirts the site.
This picture was taken in 1987 when people were free to wander amongst the stones as they pleased. The terrible erosion caused by all the visitors is only too obvious.

Log Text: Recent work carried out to remove spray-paint grafitti, by powerwasher. End stones now have areas clean of lichen.

A Jersey National Trust employee found a Roman coin whilst strimming in 1999 (but then immediately lost it again).
