Kerloas menhir submitted by thecaptain on 23rd Jun 2006. This is the biggest standing menhir in Europe, if not the world, at nearly 10 metres tall, and has lost the top 2 metres after a lightning strike!
The stone, which is not local and has been brought to this hilltop site from more than 2.5 kilometres away, has been beautifully shaped, and tapers both into the ground, and up to a point.

Le Petit Ménec submitted by ermine on 6th Aug 2004. Confusingly, Petit-Menéc is in fact at the opposite, eastern end of the alignments to le Menéc village at the western end. You need to turn left onto the D186 main road after continuing from Kerlescan. After about 250m turn right into a minor road going past a forest, there is a clearing where you can park after about 400m. The menhirs are in the forest on your right, arranged in a gentle curve. You don't get the same clear overview of the alignments since the view is obscured by the trees, bu...

This picture was taken looking east in 1987, when wandering amongst the stones was OK. I think many of them have been fenced off to try and combat erosion these days. I must go back sometime.

Kerlescan Tertre and menhir submitted by LizH on 31st Oct 2007. This stone stands at the west end of the Kerlescan rows, but to the north of them, at the western end of what was once a tumulus.
The small bear (Barnaby) at the bottom is from Hallbankgate school and is making a tour of pre-historic sites!

View of the Ménec alignements as they were in summer 1987, when you could walk amongst them before they were fenced off, and with an awful lot of erosion going on around them.

Log Text: First visit after 30 years. Its all more slick now with the visitor centre ( which a tually has very little about the stones, their layout etc. I understood more about the cromlechs - semi circular stone circles at the end of the sets of rows - theres some remaining evidence of them. But would be great to have an idea of how they looked.
