Dolmen de Pointe Er Hourél

Dolmen / Quoit / Cromlech

Fieldnotes

Visited 17.09.23

There is a ruined dolmen in a stand of pine trees on the end of the Pointe Er Hourél. It is only c. 40m from Quiberon Bay. The Dolmen de Pointe Er Hourél consists of 3 orthostats measuring c. 1.3m high and a recumbent capstone measuring c. 2m wide. The rare combination of the trees and the sea give this ancient monument a magical atmosphere.

The site is well frequented. Indeed, I had to wait 30 minutes for a French family to finish their picnic in the shade of the stones to get my photos.
