I have visited· I would like to visit

stonetracker visited on 1st Sep 2024 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 This is a rather damaged passage grave within a visible mound with kerbstones. All of the cover stones are missing and the orthostats are short, but this is likely due to organic fill washing into the tomb over time. The trickiest bit was finding the trail to it, as I was unable to find the one noted on the map. Parking is in a large dirt lot at the jct of D105 and Rte de Poul Hoh in Ploemel. From the parking area, walk west on Poul Hoh about 200 m. The trail head is on a right of way squeezed in between private houses. There may or may not be a signpost. The site is up on a hill about 150 m north of the road.

Mané Bogad Dolmen submitted by stonetracker : The right side of low tumulus surrounding the passage grave is delineated by an arc of kerb stones on the ground surface.

Mané Bogad Dolmen submitted by stonetracker : The circular chamber. Like the passage, most of the orthostats have survived but all of the cover slabs in the monument are gone.

Mané Bogad Dolmen
Mané Bogad Dolmen submitted by stonetracker : Entrance to the narrow passage. Not much published information on this passage grave, but the overall dimensions (chamber plus passage) are 9 x 6 m. Most of the orthostats in the passage are still extant although some are leaning or lying down.

I discovered later that there were at least two 19th century excavations. The earliest turned up 40 small vases, but there is no information on the cultural association or date.

This is a delightful little site in woodland. There is a mound, perhaps 3m high on top of which are the stones. There is a short straight entrance passage leading to a small circle of stones.

Access is easy, it is 120m from the road. There is a path leading to it from 47.6476N 3.0839W.
