Tumulus du Mané-Lud, Neolithic burial mound in Locmariaquer, France
Description
The Mané-Lud tumulus is a stone burial mound with internal chambers located near the Breton coast. It consists of large stone blocks arranged to create a corridor system and separate burial spaces.
History
The mound was built during the Neolithic period as a burial place for multiple individuals. Excavations in the 1800s revealed remains and artifacts that confirmed the great age of the structure.
Culture
The carved symbols inside depict boats and tools, showing what mattered to the people who built this place thousands of years ago. Walking through the chamber lets you see these ancient images firsthand and understand their artistic skill.
Practical
Access to the mound is provided by modern stairs leading to the chamber entrance. The site is located in the Locmariaquer area and is easy to reach from local roads.
Did you know?
The structure combines two different burial systems under one large earthen mound: a sealed chamber without a corridor and a passage tomb. This combination of two burial types in one location is unusual and reveals how burial practices may have evolved.
