TheCaptain visited on 14th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Beside the road running along the shore out to the tip of Pointe du Conguel, and incorporated into the pavement just outside the SNCF holiday complex, can be seen the remains of this burial chamber. Possibly, one side of it is natural rock, or perhaps a fallen capstone, but it has a definite backstone and two or three other side slabs. It is about 3.5 metres in length, by 1 metre wide, and the road slightly diverts to skirt around it.

Beside the road running along the shore out to the tip of Pointe du Conguel, the southernmost tip of the Quiberon Peninsula, and incorporated into the pavement just outside the SNCF holiday complex, can be seen the remains of this burial chamber.

Possibly, one side of it is natural rock, or perhaps a fallen capstone, but it has a definite backstone and two or three other side slabs. It is about 3.5 metres in length, by 1 metre wide, and the road slightly diverts to skirt around it.
