There does seem to be visible evidence of this. There are similar stones incorporated into a wall adjacent to an old cross at 40 Route de Kerroch.

TheCaptain visited on 14th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Oppsite to the dolmen, the gently arced wall around the house (a strange large gatewayed studio) is made up using many large stones. Perhaps there was once some sort of cromlech here, like that at Crucuny, perhaps the wall is made usong large stones from the ruined dolmen.

Oppsite to the dolmen, the gently arced wall around the house (a strange large gatewayed studio) is made up using many large stones. Was there once some sort of cromlech here, like that at Crucuny?

But perhaps the wall is just made using large stones from the ruined dolmen.
