Dolmen de Kermario, Neolithic burial chamber in Carnac, France
The Kermario Dolmen stands as a granite structure with a passage entrance facing south-southeast, positioned at the southwestern end of the Kermario alignments.
The megalithic structure dates from 5000 to 3000 BCE and underwent archaeological excavations by J. Miln in 1877, followed by restoration work in 1929.
Archaeological findings from the dolmen, including polished axes, flint flakes, and pottery fragments, are now displayed at the Museum of Prehistory in Carnac.
The dolmen forms part of a protected heritage site that visitors can access through guided tours, offering insights into Neolithic burial practices.
The structure belongs to a complex that includes 980 standing stones stretching over 1,100 meters, making it the largest group of megalithic alignments in Carnac.
