TheCaptain visited on 17th Apr 2014 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Doing a little coastal route after leaving Ploumanach, and the remains of this allée couverte are right beside the D.788 road from Trébeurden to Trégastel, only feet from the cliff edge.

TheCaptain visited on 24th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Right beside the D.788 road from Trébeurden to Trégastel, and only feet from the cliff edge is the remains of this dolmen, but it would not surprise me if it is part of what was once an allée couverte. It has a single capstone on side supports only, but there are at least three of them on the south side, and possibly more. Survival of this has again been helped by it being part of a wall, but I suspect the road has cut off the eastern end. Orientation is 094°. Further into the hedge, and I think that there are a few peristalith stones also.
