TheCaptain visited on 17th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Beside the little road running along the coast around the almost deserted centre of Audierne Bay, just on the edge of the beach in the dunes, can be found the remains of a cairn with a few large rocks to be seen scattered around in it. Looking closer at some of these larger rocks, there is evidence of a chamber underneath one capstone. Obviously once upon a time this was a fairly complex place, probably a cairn with several dolmenic chambers within it, similar to many other places in this far southwestern tip of Brittany. This really is a splendid place, with the surf rolling in creating its own mist and covering the land in clouds. Amazing.

Beside the little road running along the coast around the almost deserted centre of Audierne Bay, just on the edge of the beach in the dunes, can be found the remains of a cairn with a few large rocks to be seen scattered around in it.

Looking closer at some of these larger rocks, there is evidence of a chamber underneath a capstone in at least one place. Obviously once upon a time this was a fairly complex place, probably a cairn with several dolmenic chambers within it, similar to many other places in this far southwestern tip of Brittany.

This really is a splendid place, with the surf rolling in creating its own mist and covering the land in clouds.

Amazing.
