Dolmen de Men-Milliget
Dolmen de Men-Milliget submitted by Martin_L : The dolmen seen roughly from the East. The stone foreground left probably is a passage capstone. The chamber is mainly below level of the surrounding ground and halfways filled with earth/sand. Quite an impressive site. The large chamber capstone shows some interesting erosion and the chamber orthostats are nicely shaped. June 2022 (Vote or comment on this photo)
