Le Tombeau du Géant is a bronze age grave (around 1500 BC) constructed out of three menhirs that date from around 2200 BC. Today two of them form the chamber, the third lies 8m West from the site. The menhirs are around 4m large and 1m wide.

Around the side are various other stones that formed the tumulus of the bronze age grave.
