Log Text: The condition rating applies to the actual menhir in the Latenium museum. This rough copy has all the appeal of a piece of leftover construction material, but it is a nice gesture to mark the approximate area the menhir was found.

Log Text: When first viewed, this would seem to be a fairly ordinary site for the area, but the condition of the eastern grave makes this one of the highlights of the entire Carnac area. My daughter declared this to be her second favorite megalithic site of the hundreds we have visited, which is high praise!

Log Text: One could probably drive to the top of the hill and park by the monument, despite the street being signposted as a private road. Once there the fencing only allows you to see the monument from one end.

You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a dolmen, and it is locally listed as such, but Burl sets you right. These stones were originally a passage grave with an earth mound on top
