KeeleyJane visited on 1st May 2019 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 4 3 tall, slim, pretty menhirs lost in a little forest close to Penmarch. Visited on Beltane 2019, quite a forceful energy and lots of spiders 🕷

TheCaptain visited on 17th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 4 The Kerfland menhirs are three gorgeous tall slender menhirs standing in a row at the edge of a wood, easily reached down a little signposted footpath from the roadside a couple of kilometres south of Plomeur. They line up almost due north to south, at an alignment of 005° magnetic (in 2005) and are spaced about 5 metres apart from each other. To me, these are the supermodels of the menhir world, each being over 5 metres tall yet only 30cm thick, and up to 2 m wide, and are very elegantly shaped into curvy features. The southern one is sort of pointing skywards. Unfortunately the central stone has obviously been broken in the past, but is cemented back together in a very reasonable way. It is just a pity that they are a bit overgrown, making pictures difficult, but not too badly.
