Cromlech de Crucuno, Neolithic stone circle in Plouharnel, France
The Crucuno cromlech forms a rectangular enclosure measuring 35 meters long by 26 meters wide, constructed with twenty-two granite menhirs arranged in sequence.
The stone monument received classification as a historical monument in 1889, following restoration works conducted by archaeologist Felix Gaillard in 1887.
The rectangular structure aligns with cardinal points while its diagonals correspond to the sunrise and sunset positions during solstices, indicating ancient astronomical knowledge.
Visitors can access the megalithic site through the Circuit de Crucuno walking trail, which extends 7.3 kilometers and connects multiple archaeological points.
Research by Dryden and Lukis in 1867 revealed that the original layout of the stones differed from their current arrangement after the nineteenth-century restoration.
