The more ruined northern allée Couverte can be seen in the background.

Goërem Dolmen
Date Added: 8th Oct 2015
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Would like to visit
Goërem dolmen submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Jun 2011. The entrance is on the south side, but it's gated up, with an iron gate concreted in to the ground, so despite having two torches, I cannot enter and put them to use. But I have to say, that it's no doubt for the best, as the place is littered with broken bottles and other rubbish, with graffiti sprayed everywhere, and badly smelling of a toilet block.
