TheCaptain visited on 19th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 What I could find of the Lostmarc'h alignements, on top of a headland overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with a fine surf beach below to the south, was a line of eight stones aligned at an angle of 060°/240° running across the headland. None of the stones are much more than a metre in height, and they are spaced about 6 metres apart from each other. There are several other stones laying about, perhaps the remains of other rows.
Further out on the headland are a lot more stones at N48.2150° W4.5561°. Its hard to make out any clear pattern, but its possibly the remains of at least 4 rows. Further stones can be seen dotted about all over the place. Perhaps this was once a big important centre.
