This is an intriquing allignment leading up to the grand Guihallon menhir. Set in dense forest there are curious large and small stones all over the place, that appear to have been moved around over the years.
Two large menhirs are positioned to one side of the car park leading up to the Guihallon menhir.
If anyone knows anything about the site or can offer an opinion on some of the odds and sods lying around I'd love to hear.
When I was last there, I walked in the opposite direction of the carpark and path and found what appeared to be an oval or partial circle of stones but not sure whether I was imaging it and it was just natural.
What do you think?
