Kerbalanec Allée Couverte
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 21st May 2009
Kerbalanec allée couverte submitted by paulcall on 21st May 2009. This allee couverte is found about 1 km north of the D7 between Beuzec-Cap-Sizun and Poullan-sur-Mer, at the end of a farm lane. This view from the north shows that the west side is buried into the side of the bank. I apologise for the quality of this series of photos as I had just suffered impact damage on my lens (I fell over, in other words) and the originals were a little blurred.

Lesconil allée couverte submitted by paulcall on 21st May 2009. This is an impressive buttressed (arc boutee) allee couverte, with the side stones resting against each other to make an allee that is trangular in cross-section. In this photo from the north-east the edge stones of the peristalith can be seen behind the tree.

Léchiagat menhir
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2009
Léchiagat menhir submitted by paulcall on 22nd May 2009. This was my favourite menhir from a recent trip to Finistere. It is particularly photogenic within the marsh, but it is a shame that it is surrounded on houses on all sides. I may have a go at Photoshop-ing them out.

Lespurit-Quélen menhir
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2009
Lespurit-Quélen menhir submitted by paulcall on 22nd May 2009. Clearly marked as a single menhir on the Bleu series IGN map, I was surprised to discover that there was a second fallen stone at this site. Perhaps the french cartographers don't count menhirs couchees. This standing menhir is about 7.5 metres tall, 2.5 metres wide and 1 metre deep.
