Sunday 27 September 2009 There are uprights on both sides, though from the other side it almost looks as if the bank supports the capstones on one side. Pano created with Autostitch autostitch.net

Sunday 27 September 2009 At first glance it looks as if the whole structure has collapsed onto the bank, perhaps from exhaustion!

It’s about 12ms long and with five large capstones the largest over 2ms long, and still has plenty of mound, which we liked.
Don’t be confused by the interchangability of its name. Many places round here have multiple names, both French and Breton, but also folkloric names. Kerbalanec is the name of the hamlet on the road sign, and in one or two books we’ve got. Aubrey Burl in his 1984 edition of ‘Megalithic Brittany’ calls it Kerbanalec, as does the blokey on the Megalithes Breton website: megalithes-breton.fr
Well, whatever it’s called it’s the same place.
