recent centuries, many of the sites have been neglected, with reports of
dolmens being used as sheep shelters, chicken sheds or even ovens.Even
more commonly, stones have been removed to make way for roads, or as building

Carnac,
found on a narrow peninsula halfway between the medieval town Vannes and the seaside resort Quiberon,
is split into two centres - Carnac-Ville and Carnac-Plage (the beachfront). In total there are five

Tumulus of Saint-Michel
The Tumulus of Saint-Michel was constructed between 5000 BC and 3400 BC. At its
base it is 125 by 60 m (410 by 200 ft), and is 12 m (39 ft) high. It required

Stone
Rows
There are
three major groups of stone rows — Ménec, Kermario and Kerlescan — which
may have once formed a single group, but have been split up as stones were
removed for other purposes
The Le Menec Alignment runs 1200 metres
diagonally southwest to northeast. Consists of 12 rows of
approximately 1100 megaliths. The largest is three metres high.
The Kermario Alignment runs one kilometre long in a southwest to northeast diagonal aspect.
It contains seven full rows and three partial lines with more than 1000
megaliths.
The Kerlescan Alignment is much shorter
at only 355 metres long but running in the same direction. Consists
of 13 rows of more than 300 megaliths. Has a stone circle at its west
end where the stones are much larger and a 90-metre diameter circle of menhirs north of the rows.
The Le Petit Menac. If it were not for
the need to build a lighthouse at Belle-Ile there
would remain more than 250 megaliths on this site. The location has been
pillaged and neglected but evidence of three curved rows more than 300 metres
long can still be seen.
