Menhir de Kervedal
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 18th May 2009
Menhir de Kervedal submitted by paulcall on 18th May 2009. This would have been quite an impressive sight at the time it was vertical - sadly it is now 'sleeping'. It is 7 metres long and about 1.5 metres in diameter. GPS 47.82176 4.35833 W. It is lying rather forlornly at a road junction on the outskirts of St-Guénolé.
