Dolmen de Mané-Kerioned, Neolithic dolmen in Carnac, France
The Mané-Kerioned dolmen consists of three separate megaliths built from massive stone blocks that form distinct burial chambers. These structures are connected by passage corridors and sit in an accessible location between Auray and Plouharnel.
These megalithic structures were built around 3500 BCE and rank among the oldest monuments in the region. Archaeological excavations in 1866 uncovered pottery fragments hidden beneath the capstones.
The name Mané-Kerioned means "hill of the elves" in Breton, rooted in folklore about supernatural beings dwelling among these stones. Visitors can sense how local people have long connected these ancient structures to their spiritual beliefs.
The site is open year-round and features marked walking paths for easy navigation. Wear comfortable shoes and come prepared for uneven ground.
Six of the stone blocks feature rare geometric engravings with interlaced rectangles and serpentine patterns. These fine decorations resemble those at the nearby Table des Marchands and reveal the artistic skills of the Neolithic builders.
