Kerivoret Dolmen, Neolithic dolmen in Porspoder, France.

The Kerivoret complex includes a dolmen constructed with five supporting stones and a massive covering slab measuring 4.60 meters in length.

This megalithic structure received official protection status through classification as a historical monument by governmental decree on December 27, 1923.

The stone arrangement demonstrates the engineering capabilities of Neolithic builders who selected different types of granite, including porphyroid and pegmatitic varieties.

Located at coordinates 48.4978991, -4.7624706, the archaeological site can be reached via Route de Prat Joulou in the Finistère department.

A menhir standing 3.50 meters tall lies 25 meters east of the dolmen, creating an astronomical alignment where it blocks the rising sun during equinoxes.

Location: Porspoder

Address: route de Prat Joulou 29840

GPS coordinates: 48.49790,-4.76247

France of standing stones: journey through menhirs, dolmens, and alignments

Throughout France, stone silhouettes still stand in fields, forests, or by the sea. They existed long before villages and roads, witnesses to a world that believed in the sky and hidden forces of the earth. These menhirs, erected over five thousand years ago, in their own way narrate the dawn of civilizations. Some are solitary, others are arranged in rows of hundreds. Some bear engraved faces, others remain silent, smoothed by Breton winds or the rain of the Central Massif. From Carnac to Corsica, from Poitou to the Côtes-d’Armor, these upright stones maintain a strong presence, almost human. Approaching them, one senses the ancient connection between human hands and the memory of the land.
