(View photo, vote or add a comment)

Dolmen du Crapaud submitted by thecaptain on 20th Jul 2006. Perched on its clifftop, overlooking the sea and a nice sandy beach, from certain angles this dolmen does indeed look like a toad poking its head up.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Dolmen du Crapaud is located on a cliff edge SE of Plage des Granges, S of Pen Lan (Penn Lann). The remains of this site have been much reduced by coastal erosion. The chamber resembles a toad viewed from N, hence the french name Dolmen du Crapaud.
Dolmens des Grays
Date Added: 23rd Sep 2023
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Yes on 13th Sep 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 4
Dolmens des Grays submitted by thecaptain on 19th Jul 2006. East along the coast from Penlann headland are found the remains of this large cairn.
It is difficult to make anything out nowadays, other than there are lots of large rocks on the remains of a large mound, overlooking the Villaine estuary.
Closer inspection shows this to have once been a large 30 metre diameter cairn, with at least three passage tombs within it, two of which still have a few capstones in position.

Log Text: Dolmens des Grays is located 5 minutes E along the coastal path starting in Pen Lan Car Park. At first sight the monument is a jumble of stones. There is an interpretation board, suggesting that the cairn consists of an amalgam of 3 separate tombs. It divides the cairn into Tomb A,B & C. They are in the N, SW & SE respectively.

Log Text: I followed directions to Dolmen de Mané Rutuel from the Tourist Office in Locmariaquer. After a 5 minute walk, I discovered that the long mound is closed to the public due to safety concerns. I was reduced to walking round a protective fence, making the best of limited views. Mané Rutuel is an impressive monument but a disappointing outcome.
