TheCaptain visited on 15th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This is a nice little dolmen sitting in a little mound in some fields just round the back of the houses, and a hundred or so metres walk. It's got a 3m by 2.5m chamber, partially made with slabs, partly with drystone walling. It is fully covered by its capstone, and there is no sign of an entrance corridor. This dolmen seems to be kept nicely clear of all undergrowth.

Kerlutu dolmen submitted by minteddy : This dolmen is on the south side of the D9 from Pont Lorois. It is only a short way down a typical Breton sunken lane but of the three dolmen in the area I imagine this is the least visited - not that any of them are visited much with the attractions of Carnac a few miles further South.
