Kerscaven

It’s at the far side of a field which is clearly marked ‘Private Property’ so we didn’t venture too close, but even from a distance we could see it was really big – 9 ms tall – and dramatic. It has a wider splaying top, down which run deep ridges formed from weathering. From the side you can see it’s actually wedge shaped. Whether it was originally like this, or it is just weathering that has caused this wedge shape is hard to tell.

It’s one of the largest menhirs in Penmarc’h.
