Access: Easy - you will probably park right beside it or opposite it if you go to Le Ruen menhir.

I noticed this vaguely dolmenny thing as we got out of the car to go to Le Ruen menhir, which I had visited in 1999.

Checking Burl's 'Megalithic Brittany', he says it's a (rare) V-shaped passage grave, the best example of which is Ty-ar-Boudiquet. He's right - Ty-ar-Boudiquet is spectacular. This isn't, but is worth a look....
