TheCaptain visited on 18th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This allée couverte is easy enough to find to the north of the Kerbalannec farm buildings a couple of hundred metres along a track. The allée couverte makes up part of the field wall, and this has perhaps helped in its preservation.
The chamber is about 12 metres in length, over 2 metres wide and high enough to stand up in, facing south of southeast at 155°. The northwest end is amazingly complete, but the southeast end has suffered some damage, while five of the probable six capstones survive in place. The field to the south is on a much higher level than the field to the north, and on this side the stone slabs of a peristalith have survived, as has the mound. This is a nice monument to visit.
