Le Creux ès Faïes, Neolithic passage tomb in Saint Peter's, Guernsey.

The entrance passage of Le Creux ès Faïes extends 8.5 meters in length, leading to a rounded chamber covered by two large capstones.

The site dates from 3500 to 2000 BC and contains archaeological discoveries including human remains, animal bones, Beaker pottery, and barbed arrowheads.

Residents of Guernsey connect the dolmen to tales of fairies who emerge during full moons to dance and sing until dawn.

The passage tomb stands on the right side of the road leading to L'Eree headland, with geographic coordinates of 49.456474 latitude and -2.655463 longitude.

The structure retains its original peristalith stones at the beginning and end of the formation, marking the boundaries of this ancient burial site.
