A fine example of an arc-boutée allée couverte near the village of St Goazec in Finistère

The arc-boutée type of construction does not use a standard row of upright pairs of slabs with capstones laid flat on top of them, but instead has two rows of large slabs leaning inwards and resting on each other at an angle. Much simpler to construct, but with a much reduced internal space.


IMPORTANT NOTE :- Positional co-ordinates scaled from a detailed map source.
