Menhir de Kerluhir, Neolithic menhir in Carnac, France

The Menhir de Kerluhir is a Neolithic standing stone in a grassy field in Carnac, measuring 4.33 m high according to French sources (Basque Wikipedia gives about 3 m). It is roughly triangular, wider at the base and narrowing to a rounded top, with a long vertical crack down the right side and a deep erosion groove. A small marker at its base reads "PROPRIETE de L'ETAT MENHIR de KERLUHIR".

The menhir was excavated in 1876 by J. Miln, who found only material from the Gallo-Roman period: bricks and pottery. It has been the property of the State since an undetermined date, as the marker at its base records. It was classified as a monument historique by the list of 1889.

The name Kerluhir comes from the Breton hamlet 200 m to the north. The stone is State property, as the small marker at its base reading "PROPRIETE de L'ETAT MENHIR de KERLUHIR" shows; the sources note the K should be a Breton Ꝃ. It was listed as a monument historique in 1889.

The stone stands in a field about 200 m south of the hamlet of Kerluir and some 300 m northeast of Cloucarnac; the Roch-Vihan dolmen lies about 80 m to the east. A small inscribed marker at its base identifies it as state property. The ground is grass and dry vegetation, so the base of the stone is often partly hidden.

Just a short distance away sits a dolmen called Roch-Vihan, making this spot a concentrated zone of megalithic structures. Visitors can see several prehistoric monuments in the same area.
