TheCaptain visited on 17th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Just to the south of the Quélarn burial cairns is a small menhir, about 2.5 metres tall. It is assumed that the two are related. These have been dated to the middle neolithic.

These have been dated to the middle neolithic.
The Quélarn monuments are fairly easily found as they are signposted a couple of kilometres to the west of Plobannalec, and they have their own little parking space and picnic area.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Positional co-ordinates taken from a gps receiver.
