Dolmen de Penhap, Neolithic burial monument in Île-aux-Moines, France.

The stone corridor tomb stands at an elevation of 20 meters on a promontory, featuring a large capstone covering the entrance passage.

During the Neolithic period, when sea levels were 7 meters lower, this passage grave was constructed on elevated ground connected to mainland Brittany.

This megalithic structure represents the burial practices of Neolithic communities in Morbihan, marking their relationship with death and ancestral traditions.

The dolmen remains open for visits throughout the year, with dedicated pathways leading to the site from the main walking trails.

The monument offers archaeological evidence of early human settlements when Île-aux-Moines was still physically connected to continental France.
