The Allée couverte is located on top of a small wooded hill above the valley where the Menhir de Menguen-Lanvaux is located.
Its structure is based on natural rocks, forming one side of the grave. The slab is impressive it is 4.5 metres at its widest, 1 metre in thickness and 1.5 metres wide. In the area are lots of rock outcrops like this one; as far as I can find out this is the only Allée couverte on the hill.
It would be a nightmare to find if you do not use a handheld GPS receiver.
