Rock Art in Bretagne:Morbihan (56)

Terres de la Ville-Burel, Pleucadeuc, Vannes, Morbihan, Brittany
Source: T4T35.fr

"Several menhirs were arranged in straight lines and concentric circles evenly spaced, similar to the Pierre Basins [DRAUXB]. The Celts buried their dead."
"The basin stone is still there. There were found stones at very remarkable basins and many menhirs arranged in divergent lines from the top to the base of the hill. But here the ancient and modern destroyers have largely worked and the monument is far from complete being."
