Tumulus du Mané-Lud

The Mané-Lud tumulus extends 90 meters in length, 50 meters in width, and rises 6 meters above the surrounding landscape near the Brittany coast.

Archaeological excavations in 1863 by René Galles revealed a stone burial chamber containing human remains, pottery fragments, and flint artifacts beneath the earthen mound.

The internal corridor tomb features stone slabs with detailed engravings depicting axes, boats, and a sperm whale, representing Neolithic artistic expressions.

Visitors can access the dolmen through a modern staircase, with the site located 150 meters from the western parking area in Locmariaquer.

The monument contains two distinct burial structures: a closed chamber without passage and a corridor tomb, both integrated within the same earthen mound.
