TheCaptain visited on 12th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Just to the west of Bigan, and signposted from there, can be found the remains of this allée couverte right at a road junction. The allée is 9 metres long and oriented to the south, at a bearing of 185°. At the north end there is a closing slab and a little ante chamber behind that. One stone has been lost to the road. Three capstones are still in place, although fallen within the passage. It has been dated to about 2700-3000 BC.
