Dolmen de Crucuno - Plouharnel, Brittany (France)

In the centre of the small village Crucuno (belonging to Plouharnel, along the street D781) a massive Dolmen is to be found. It is situated next to a house and was used as a cattle shed for a long time.
Now the Dolmen consists of 9 stones and a huge and a smaller endstone. I like how it fits into the scenery or vice versa.

Alignments de Kerzerho - Erdeven, Brittany (France)

Separated through the street D781 from Quiberon to Erdeven stone rows with app. 190 megaliths are to find south of Erdeven. They are quite similiar to the alignments in Carnac standing/lying in rows from east to west. Maybe these rows were an extension of Carnac's alignments? In former times there existed more than 1.000 stones in 65 rows of 2 kilometres length.
