TheCaptain visited on 25th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 The remains of this allée couverte, "the Giants Stones", sit within a field wall (which is no doubt the reason for its survival) just 25 metres from the sea at high tide, near to the entrance of the Tréguier estuary. The chamber is quite short at about 6 metres, probably due to the eastern end being destroyed. The western end is intact with not only a back stone, but also an internal dividing stone a couple of metres in. Three capstones sit in place, with another one fallen at the east.
This would be a lovely place to sit and watch the boats and birds on a nice day, but a sea fog has developed and is enveloping everything, so the visibility is lacking. So much for my plans to go to the big sand spit (Siillon de Talbert) later. Uh Oh, its now started to rain. This allée couverte is signposted from the nearby Kerbors village, and is just a few hundred metres walk from a parking place.

This would be a lovely place to sit and watch the boats and birds on a nice day, but when I was here a sea fog had developed and was enveloping everything, and the visibility was lacking, before it started to rain.
