Menhir de Kergoarat
Trip No.31 Entry No.19 Date Added: 23rd Jul 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 16th Jun 2003. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 4
Menhir de Kergoarat submitted by thecaptain on 1st Dec 2006. Gorgeously shaped 7 metres tall menhir standing perfectly upright on its little headland beyond the Cam Louis beach.
In contrast to its bulbous headed, thirsty neighbour, this fine chap has a face and is wearing a pointy hat, looking out over the sea.

Créac'h Gallic submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Apr 2011. There are many large slabs around the outside, making a sort of wall, I could not make this out at all initially.
Seems it was once a large allée couverte with a peristalith surrounding its mound, some of which still survives.

Menoignon menhir
Trip No.31 Entry No.25 Date Added: 23rd Jul 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 16th Jun 2003. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5
Menoignon menhir submitted by theCaptain on 5th May 2014. The menhir must be about 8 metres in height, of large girth at the bottom, slowly tapering up to a pointed top.
The southeastern face of the menhir has been worked into an extremely flat surface, of triangular shape, something which clearly took a lot of time to produce.

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.
