Cairn in Bretagne:Finistère (29)
Kerampicard, Concarneau, Quimper, Finistère, Brittany
"Cairn 40 m long and 20 m wide. Its height is 3 m, the top several pillars are visible, some outcrop of land. A menhir reversed 2m granite is west of the small dolmen.
Standing stones appear on the surface of a cairn on a length of about 18 m; they are divided into two groups separated by 7 m where no block appears, suggesting that the cairn encompassed two distinct megalithic structures; at least five stones in place are visible in the west part: they are small except for a high slab 0.90 m wide and 1.20 m; in part is observed at least nine stones including a large block of 2 m long which could be an overturned menhir."
