Kerbourg dolmens, Neolithic burial site in Saint-Lyphard, France.

The Kerbourg site contains two dolmens, with the first structure measuring 7 meters long and featuring four granite slabs covering the burial chamber.

William Collings Lukis excavated the first dolmen in 1879, discovering polished axes that are now exhibited at the British Museum in London.

These megalithic tombs reflect the architectural methods of prehistoric societies, indicating their capability to transport and position massive stone blocks.

The dolmens are accessible throughout the year, with information panels and QR codes providing detailed historical and archaeological information to visitors.

The first dolmen maintains its original trapezoidal chamber defined by eight orthostats, while the second structure lies 70 meters south in collapsed condition.
