| Allée couverte du Parc-Kerdic | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Côtes-D'Armor (22) | Visited | 3 | 4 | 4 | Best park by the farm and walk down the track, it's only good for tractors. The AC is quite cheerful, and if you take a look on Google Earth at the fields to the north-east, just over the river, you'll see many unlisted stones. Must have been an important area. | |||
| Allée Couverte de Kervonlédic | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 2 | 4 | 3 | If you are approaching from the East track, wear wellies, you have to cross the stream, and the banks are muddy. Dolmen is on the north west side, two uprights and one capstone remaining. | |||
| Allée Couverte dite Loch-ar-Ronfl | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 3 | 4 | 3 | Park up alongside the river in the town. It's quite a long but charming walk. Once past the dam look for some log steps going up the bank, which leads you straight to the Allee Couverte. It is on private land but accessible, and the local town is quite proud of it. 7 capstones remaining, it's surpr... Read More |

| Coat ar Ran tumulus | Chambered Tomb | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | I couldn't find this at all. Was in correct location, but no sign of anything like a tumulus, just flat woodland and fallen trees. There is a low wall around in the wooded area, but only found one small stone. | ||||||
| Pointe de Nioul dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | Wasn't able to access this site despite several attempts, due to private property signs, aggressive dogs and impenetrable foliage. | ||||||
| Dolmens de Nioul | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | Wasn't able to access this site despite several attempts, due to private property signs, aggressive dogs and impenetrable foliage. | ||||||
| Dolmen de Berder | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 2 | 4 | 2 | The whole island has been heavily Christianized, with a chapel and something like over 20 calvaries. While there was evidence of neolithic activity, strangely more near the chapel, the rest seems to have been converted into a motley collection of benches and a bizarre grotto. | |||
| Dolmen de Lannidult | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 3 | 4 | 5 | This is a strange site in that is difficult to work out how many structures were here. While there is the dolmen itself, which appears to just be the chamber remaining under a single capstone with 3 uprights, right behind it at ground level are two huge chunky capstones at ground level. Whether the... Read More |

| Île Melon Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 2 | 3 | 2 | Can only be visited at low tide. The island is crisscrossed by World War 2 German trenches. Amazingly the engineers actually incorporated the dolmen into the system using it as a three-way junction point, rather than blowing it up as an obvious artillery target. There are elements of a concrete lin... Read More |

| Dolmen du Poulguen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 4 | 4 | 5 | This wonderfully preserved angled passage grave is still in the remains of it's mound. Tragically it was burrowed into from the top, and when the passage underneath was reached, it filled it with earth. So using the main entrance today (you have to crawl on your belly) is now useless to reach the m... Read More |

| Dolmen de Kersidal | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 2 | 4 | 3 | Quite a battered site, and not too easy to find as it is off the main path, but is up against it on the other side of a high hedge. The capstone has worn a natural bowl that fills with water on it's top, probably meaning it's been leaning for quite some time. | |||
| Dolmen de Caudric | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 2 | 5 | 5 | Despite there only being two uprights remaining of this now unrecognizable site, for some reason it's feeling is amazing. One gets the sense that it was a very much loved site before it's destruction. The sign nearby has info on the many precious objects dug up here. | |||
| Dolmen dit Ar Roc'h | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 3 | 4 | 4 | Really cheerful little dolmen, with quite a number of cupmarks on the uprights. The sign nearby marks a panoramic view of sight lines to quite a number of other megalithic remains in the area. This one was one of the better preserved. | |||
| Kernédiec allée couverte | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 3 | 4 | 5 | Really nice vibe here, and a nice surprise as I wasn't expecting too much, despite Aubrey Burl's enthusiasm for the site. This is actually quite an impressively sized arc-bouté allee couverte, and the photos don't show it to its best advantage. It is set in a very long rectangular raised mound, wit... Read More |

| Dolmen de Kerourang 3 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 3 | 4 | 4 | Having visited this Dolmen several times and missing it, clearance of the undergrowth in 2017 has revealed the remains of a second Dolmen or AC about 10 meters to the North. There is at least one very large capstone on it's side and a few uprights in place. Leads one to speculate this may have been ... Read More |

| Allée Couverte du Petit-Chêne | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Côtes-D'Armor (22) | Visited | 3 | 4 | 4 | Really nice site, of the same style of the string of Allee Couvertes running in an E-W line from Ploufragan up to Chene Hut/Ville Bellanger. | |||
| Allée Couverte du Champ-Grosset | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Côtes-D'Armor (22) | Visited | 4 | 5 | 4 | Really nice place, and fairly well preserved. | |||
| Dolmen de la Pointe de Dinan | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 3 | 5 | 3 | Superb setting at the end of the Crozon Peninsula. I counted three capstones in all, and with a bit of maneuvering some of the gorse, the uprights can be made out underneath. The site seems basically very intact, just that chambers have filled with earth and growth. All the stones have the character... Read More |

| Dolmen de Kerbénéon | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 28th Dec 2017 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Bit of a neglected ruin in the grounds of a campsite. A few strewn quartz boulders lying about as well. | ||
| Ilot de Nestadio menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 4 | 4 | 4 | Access should be good, just watch out for the electric fence :( | |||
| Mané-Roc'h 1 | Standing Stone (Menhir) | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 2 | 4 | 4 | ||||
| Dolmen de Mané-Carnaplaye 2 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 2 | 4 | 3 | ||||
| Dolmen de Kerzuc | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 2 | 3 | 4 | Easy to find, it is in a public park with footpaths, right next to the roundabout that leads to Luffang. Enter through Rue St Clair. One capstone remaining. Similar construction to Mane Bogad. | |||
| Dolmen du Vide Bouteilles | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | Visited | 3 | 4 | 1 | This was an utter nightmare to get to, falling in muddy rivers etc. Had to park by the chapel in Rosnaurho, and walk a long way, as the map route by road to the site is all private Chateau land. Was worth it though as there are many menhirs (upright) and I found an unlisted remains of a dolmen by th... Read More |
