markj99 visited on 18th Sep 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Access: 4 There is room to park beside a hedge at 47.596867, -3.038629 just off the D186 in Kermarquer. Walk c. 120m NE along the D186. Climb up a steep bank on the left-hand side of the road. Dolmen de Kermarquer is located in a clearing.
TheCaptain visited on 12th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This one is much easier to find than its neighbour, but still involves 100 metres of fighting a way through gorse and bramble filled woodland. The monument is a strange one, with two chambers off of a single entry corridor. The main chamber, a rectangular 2.5 metres by 2.5 metres has no capstone, and leads straight off of the corridor. The second chamber is off to the side of this, with its entry at the side of chamber 1, and is about 1.5 m by 1.5 m, and is covered by a capstone. The corridor has two large capstones still in place. This monument is still mostly contained within its mound, and all very overgrown, making photographs very difficult.
