Dolmen de Cosquer (Melgven)
Dolmen de Cosquer (Melgven) submitted by minteddy : This is probably the easiest to find of the megalithic monuments which lie on a line to the north of the N165 especially when the field has been cleared of crops. I think the angle of the cap stone is rather elegant. Grid reference approx Longitude 3 48' 55'' Latitude 47 54' 08'' (Vote or comment on this photo)
