TheCaptain visited on 27th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Just to the south of the busy D.786 road between ND de Guildo and Trégon can be found the remains of this allée couverte. I find it strange that although it is signposted, has got a little parking area, is kept within a little grassed area within a field of maize, and has got several hundred metres of well tended footpath to it, the monument itself is left to become thoroughly overgrown. It's the remains of a fairly standard looking allée couverte 12 metres long with orientation 125°, and there are still 6 capstones in place. Most of the sidestones seem to have collapsed inwards, making much of it not much more than a long pile of stones.
