Lesconil gallery grave, Neolithic gallery grave near Poullan-sur-Mer, France
The stone corridor structure extends 12.5 meters in length, featuring eighteen standing stones and reaching a height of 2.4 meters at its vault point.
First documented in 1852 by M. Halleguen, the site underwent initial archaeological excavations in 1881 by Abbot Jean-Marie Abgrall, revealing burial urns and tools.
The structure bears the Breton name Ti ar C'horriked, reflecting regional mythology that designates it as a dwelling place for supernatural creatures called korrigans.
Located at 78 meters altitude, the megalithic monument includes interpretive panels and can be reached through a dedicated parking area near Douarnenez.
The gallery grave features a remarkable self-supporting roof system constructed from granodiorite slabs, surrounded by twenty-seven perimeter stones for structural support.
