Menhir de Kervedal
Menhir de Kervedal submitted by paulcall : This would have been quite an impressive sight at the time it was vertical - sadly it is now 'sleeping'. It is 7 metres long and about 1.5 metres in diameter. GPS 47.82176 4.35833 W. It is lying rather forlornly at a road junction on the outskirts of St-Guénolé. (Vote or comment on this photo)
