Allée Couverte at the northern edge of the village of Plédran.

Must be about 14.5m in length and has 10 capstones. Nowadays very overgrown.

This allée couverte was a nice surprise - part of the Ploufragan-Roche Camio line similar in style, but seems to actually be the most intact and well preserved of the 6.
All capstones seem to be in place, still in it's mound, and a few peristaliths too. Of course, neglected and overgrown, there are no signs etc. but is a fine example that clearly shows the deterioration of others. It is in a field of crops, but if visiting ignore the roundabout-housing estate access on the satellite, and go along the main road a bit and there is a track behind the houses.
