Allée couverte de Coët Correc

Allée couverte de Coët Correc is a stone chamber stretching over 15 meters with large granite blocks forming walls and a covered passage to a burial chamber. The structure is made of upright stones on the sides covered by heavy slabs, creating a corridor that leads to the central burial area.

The structure was built during the Neolithic period around 4000 BC and reflects the engineering skills of early agricultural communities in Brittany. It served as a collective tomb for multiple members of these Neolithic societies and shows their ability to create lasting structures for important communal purposes.

The site shows how local farmers in the 19th century expressed their faith by adding a slate arch and mounting a cross on top. This blend of prehistoric stones and religious symbols tells how different generations used the same location in their own way.

The site is freely accessible year-round and requires a short walk from the parking area to reach. Visitors should contact the local tourist office to learn about current conditions and any restrictions before planning their visit.

The structure clearly shows it was designed as a communal burial site for multiple people, with a central passage and separate burial areas. This layout allowed the community to gather their deceased in one sacred place across many generations.
