Kermario Dolmen
Date Added: 24th Jul 2020
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Visited: Yes on 17th Jul 2020. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5
Kermario Dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2004. Kermario Dolmen, north of Carnac, Brittany.
View of the Kermario Dolmen which is right at the southwest corner of the Kermario Alignements, and right in the corner of the road which skirts the site.
This picture was taken in 1987 when people were free to wander amongst the stones as they pleased. The terrible erosion caused by all the visitors is only too obvious.

You can still walk among the stones at Kerzerho (in 2002 at east) which are near Carnac but not quite so busy. Head up the D781 to Erdeven. You can park nearby, and from there you can also take the path to the large stones of the Table du Sacrifice

Log Text: Possibly the best site we visited during our days in the Carnac area. To be able to walk among the stones is amazing, and the connection with the Giants is a nice bonus. The piles of stones pushed aside to make the road bear interesting witness to another side of this area as well.

La Roche Blanche submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Jun 2007. This is a nice shining white quartz block within a circle of local schist stones.
It is thought to probably mark the grave of an individual, rather than being a collective grave.

Log Text: Just what it says, a white rock. It is however nicely tended, and when we were there in July it was surrounded by blooming shrubs.

La Table du Sacrifice submitted by LizH on 6th Nov 2007. In this picture, the furthest north stone (lying) can be seen. Behind it, however, at the back of the picture, this stone looks more as if it could be a 'table' and even possibly a 'sacrifice table' in the minds of those who named it. I am not sure which one is the official 'Table du sacrifice'.

Log Text: On the way to Weyland's Smithy, stopped by this group to see our first barrow in Britain. Peaceful setting, and a nice taste of what was to come in Wiltshire. Would have like more time to be able to explore the different barrow types here.

Lande de Rousse submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Jun 2007. Deep into the forest is what looked to me to be a row of fallen menhirs, with one large rock still protruding from the ground.
It wouldn't surprise me if there was another row here, like some of those at the nearby Pierres Droites, or perhaps something like La Pièce Couverte.

Log Text: We found another row running roughly NE / SW at 47.88779, -2.20002, so it may be part of the same alignment as The Captain said.

Log Text: Spectacular setting. The reconstructions and relocations in the grounds are as impressive as the interior of the museum. Some of the items could use more thorough explanations. (For example, the names of the Auvernier Dolmen, the Columbier round cairn, and the undecorated menhir from Bauvaix are not given). Information in English would also be helpful for visitors from further afield.

Le Tribunal submitted by AlexHunger on 21st Sep 2004. "Le Tribunal" Cromlech at St. Just, viewed from North. The nearest stone was displaced to make room for the path. 9 Stones survive. The site is pointed to the east an there is an "Aiming Stone" to the east, which points at the Chateau Bu.

Log Text: Hard to imagine that they would remove several stones to put in a path so the tourists could see the megalithic structures!
