Log Text: The Alignements de Kermario were the most impressive of the Carnac Alignments due to the length of the stone rows and the impressive height of the megaliths forming the rows. Unfortunately I had to be content with external views of the stones as access was restricted. The best views were to be had from the Old Windmill platform.

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.

Kermarquer dolmen submitted by TheCaptain on 8th Nov 2007. This monument is still mostly contained within its mound, and all very overgrown, making photographs very difficult.

Kerroc'h dolmen submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Feb 2011. A capstone sits one end in the air on two supports, while the other side is on the ground. There is one more bit of large stone here, which may be a support, or may be a broken bit of capstone.

Log Text: Dolmen de Kerroc'h is located c. 1.2km S of Plouharnel in the hamlet of Kerroc'h. It is located on a patch of grass in the centre of Kerroc'h. The naked dolmen is small but worth a small diversion.
Take the Rue de Kerhueno (Stop Andouilles) turn off the D781 between Carnac and Plouharnel. Follow the road for c. 0.75km to reach a stop sign. Turn left for 150m to reach Dolmen de Kerroc'h.

Kerroc’h cromlech submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Feb 2011. Oppsite to the dolmen, the gently arced wall around the house (a strange large gatewayed studio) is made up using many large stones. Was there once some sort of cromlech here, like that at Crucuny?
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Having read the TheCaptain's account of a possible cromlech I took some pictures of the wall enclosing 42 Route de Kerroch. There does seem to be
visible evidence of this. There are similar stones incorporated into a wall adjacent to an old cross at 40 Route de Kerroch.

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: Kerzerho Alignements may not be as extensive as Carnac Alignments but anyone is free to wander amongst the unfenced stones without restrictions. This freedom should be celebrated.
Kilchoan

Kilchoan submitted by mickm on 14th Apr 2005. Detail of the top of the chamber looking towards the entrance at the NE showing the displaced capstone over a lintel covering the central compartment. The side slabs of the front compartment are visible beyond.

Log Text: Kilchoan Chambered Cairn is located c. 150 yards NW of Kilchoan Lodge. On my visit there was a herd of bullock around the cairn, churning the grass to mud. The jumble of large stones become a large passage and chamber with time and imagination. The site is off the beaten track but more than rewards the expenditure of energy.

Log Text: I visited Kilhern Spa Well after an extended dry spell. Most of the boggy areas on the moorland had dried out, however there was a waterlogged marshy area W of Kilhern Spa Well. I was probably the first visitor in a long time despite its proximity to the Southern Upland Way and the Caves of Kilhern.

Log Text: I wanted to access Killantringan Bay Dun from the Killantringan Bay car park however, even at low tide the beach route was inaccessible. I improvised a rough route along the top of the escarpment, heading N. A rough scramble down a steep slope led me to Killantringan Bay Dun.

Log Text: I wasn't happy with my route to Killantringan Bay Dun from Killintringan Bay car park, so I studied OS Mapping to find a user-friendly alternative. I parked up at Knock Farm ruin just off the road. Since the route was unknown to me, I wore wellies. This was fortunate as the rough farm track to the House of Knock had several flooded sections. Just before the House of Knock gate a grassy track wound down the hill past Knock Bay House to Knock Bay. The tide was low, so it was a pleasure to walk S along the beach towards Killantringan Bay Dun. The going underfoot was tricky round the point but this route is preferable to my previous one.

King Arthur Stone submitted by Maeg on 27th Aug 2012. A view of the 6th century inscribed stone at Slaughterbridge, as seen from the adjacent footpath. The script is both latin and ogham and reads "Latini [h]ic iacit fili Macari" = Latinus son of Macarus lies here. Latinus is thought to have been a local celtic chief (according to Wikipedia at least).

Log Text: The stone circles are easy to find but difficult to interpret. I was able to get a reasonable grasp of the site after wandering around for half an hour. The NW Circle is more complete the SE Circle.
