Vieux-Moulin Alignement
Vieux-Moulin Alignement submitted by aolson : As of July 2020, one of the stones seen leaning in earlier pictures has succumbed. The notice on the fencing basically states that the authorities are contemplating what to do next. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is a nice little row of 6 menhirs, up to 4 metres in height, standing on the slopes of a field just near to the busy D.781 Carnac to Erdeven road, just to the north of Plouharnel station. These are nicely shaped and positioned stones. It is not known whether the line ofmenhirs standing today were once part of a set of alignements, or the remains of a giant cromlech.
