Alignement de Kornevec

Alignement de Kornevec, Megalithic stone row in Floranges forest, Camors, France.

Description

The Kornevec alignment extends approximately 200 meters through Floranges forest, consisting of about fifty granite blocks with only two menhirs still standing upright, while the others have been deliberately cut or toppled over the centuries.

History

Classified as a historical monument in 1934, this alignment bears witness to Neolithic occupation of the region and suffered significant damage during the 1987 storm that disrupted its original configuration dating back several millennia.

Culture

This megalithic site represents the ancient craftsmanship of Breton Neolithic peoples who used these standing stones for astronomical or funerary rituals, constituting an important element of Morbihan's archaeological heritage.

Practical

The site is freely accessible via marked forest paths from Camors, visitors are advised to wear appropriate footwear and respect local signage to preserve the tranquility of this fragile vestige.

Did you know?

A 3D reconstruction using photogrammetry has been created to visualize the original configuration of the alignment, allowing researchers and visitors to better understand the spatial organization of the menhirs before their degradation.
