karolus visited - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 2 The whole island has been heavily Christianized, with a chapel and something like over 20 calvaries. While there was evidence of neolithic activity, strangely more near the chapel, the rest seems to have been converted into a motley collection of benches and a bizarre grotto.

Dolmen de Berder
Dolmen de Berder submitted by karolus : This odd grotto was hard to find from the coast path, and is very close to the supposed location of the Dolmen de Berder. I couldn't find any other megalithic traces here. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Dolmen de Berder
Dolmen de Berder submitted by karolus : Bizarre conversion to a seat with a stunning view of Er Lannic, on a spot on the coast path between the cromlech and Dolmen de Berder sites. I suspect it's on an original dolmen site, not only is there a fair quantity of shaped granite, but is probably the most comfortable and energizing seat I've ever sat on.
