Chrus visited on 2nd Jul 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Now in a private garden but can be viewed from the lane

TheCaptain visited on 28th Jun 2016 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 2 Access: 4 Not far off the busy road between Morlaix and Roscoff, this Tee shaped allee couvetre is becoming very overgrown, and its difficult to make anything out at all now. It is also not far from a field corner where people have decided to dumpstuff, so overall its not a winner. I seem to remember this from many years ago as being a good and interesting place to visit.
