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.

Visited: Yes on 18th Jun 2003. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 4
Kerloas menhir submitted by thecaptain on 23rd Jun 2006. This is the biggest standing menhir in Europe, if not the world, at nearly 10 metres tall, and has lost the top 2 metres after a lightning strike!
The stone, which is not local and has been brought to this hilltop site from more than 2.5 kilometres away, has been beautifully shaped, and tapers both into the ground, and up to a point.

Kerluir dolmen submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Feb 2011. Theres a big mound here on top of a hillock, to the east of the Kerluir menhir, but its all covered with gorse and blackthorn. However, there is a way through, and somewhere in the middle can be found this tiny little dolmen, which consists of a capstone sitting on two sidestones, with a few other stones in the vicinity.

Kerluir menhir submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Feb 2011. This is a nicely shaped 4 metre high menhir in the middle of a field about 800 metres to the south of the Kermario alignements, and as such, the poor thing is a bit overshadowed.

Kerlutu dolmen submitted by minteddy on 10th Sep 2008. This dolmen is on the south side of the D9 from Pont Lorois. It is only a short way down a typical Breton sunken lane but of the three dolmen in the area I imagine this is the least visited - not that any of them are visited much with the attractions of Carnac a few miles further South.

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.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)

Visited: Yes on 6th Jul 2005. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 4
Kermarquer menhir submitted by TheCaptain on 18th May 2011. The menhir been shaped and smoothed, with carvings on three faces, which are quite difficult to make out in the strong mid afternoon sunlight, but at other times may be quite clear.
I counted at least four crook shapes on the stone, two on the southwest side, one on the southeast face and one on the north east side, but there are probably more. These carvings are not engravings, but are in relief, and they face in both directions.
