Log Text: The easiest way to find La Dame du Manio is to find La Pierre Carree first : Pierre Carrée du Manio is a square slab located c. 25m W of the Géant du Manio, a handsome standing stone in Manio Forest. Géant du Manio is well sign-posted. Pierre Carrée du Manio can be found on a vague path running W into the trees, starting from the path opposite the Géant du Manio. The Pierre Carrée du Manio is in a small clearing 20m down the path. Walk c. 20m NW along a path starting at Pierre Carrée du Manio to reach La Dame du Manio.

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.

The small bear (Barnaby) at the bottom is from Hallbankgate school and is making a tour of pre-historic sites!

1) It is perched on a village green beside a road.

Kerroc'h dolmen submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Feb 2011. A capstone sits one end in the air on two supports, while the other side is on the ground. There is one more bit of large stone here, which may be a support, or may be a broken bit of capstone.

Log Text: Dolmen de Kerroc'h is located c. 1.2km S of Plouharnel in the hamlet of Kerroc'h. It is located on a patch of grass in the centre of Kerroc'h. The naked dolmen is small but worth a small diversion.
Take the Rue de Kerhueno (Stop Andouilles) turn off the D781 between Carnac and Plouharnel. Follow the road for c. 0.75km to reach a stop sign. Turn left for 150m to reach Dolmen de Kerroc'h.

Kerroc’h cromlech submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Feb 2011. Oppsite to the dolmen, the gently arced wall around the house (a strange large gatewayed studio) is made up using many large stones. Was there once some sort of cromlech here, like that at Crucuny?

Log Text: Having read the TheCaptain's account of a possible cromlech I took some pictures of the wall enclosing 42 Route de Kerroch. There does seem to be
visible evidence of this. There are similar stones incorporated into a wall adjacent to an old cross at 40 Route de Kerroch.

Le Petit Ménec submitted by ermine on 6th Aug 2004. Confusingly, Petit-Menéc is in fact at the opposite, eastern end of the alignments to le Menéc village at the western end. You need to turn left onto the D186 main road after continuing from Kerlescan. After about 250m turn right into a minor road going past a forest, there is a clearing where you can park after about 400m. The menhirs are in the forest on your right, arranged in a gentle curve. You don't get the same clear overview of the alignments since the view is obscured by the trees, bu...
