Dolmen de Crucuno, Neolithic dolmen in Plouharnel, France.
The rectangular chamber of this megalithic structure measures 4 meters by 3.5 meters, with nine support stones holding a massive capstone of 7 meters.
Dating back to approximately 4000 BCE, the original passage of the dolmen extended 25 meters toward the southeast before partial destruction in the 19th century.
The chamber stones contain numerous cup marks carved into their surfaces, indicating ritual practices of prehistoric communities in the Brittany region.
The site remains accessible throughout the year and connects to a network of prehistoric monuments, including the nearby Carnac stone alignments.
A 40-ton capstone rests upon the structure, creating an internal space high enough for visitors to stand upright within the chamber.

Throughout France, stone silhouettes still stand in fields, forests, or by the sea. They existed long before villages and roads, witnesses to a world that believed in the sky and hidden forces of the earth. These menhirs, erected over five thousand years ago, in their own way narrate the dawn of civilizations. Some are solitary, others are arranged in rows of hundreds. Some bear engraved faces, others remain silent, smoothed by Breton winds or the rain of the Central Massif. From Carnac to Corsica, from Poitou to the Côtes-d’Armor, these upright stones maintain a strong presence, almost human. Approaching them, one senses the ancient connection between human hands and the memory of the land.
