Menhir de Kerluhir, Neolithic menhir in Carnac, France
The Menhir of Kerluhir is an upright granite stone from the Neolithic period near Carnac. The stone's surface shows clear marks of weathering and erosion accumulated over thousands of years.
The menhir dates to the Neolithic period and is one of many structures that define this landscape. In the 1800s, digging near the stone uncovered artifacts from the Gallo-Roman era that had been buried there.
The stone marks where early communities settled and forms part of the larger megalithic landscape of this region. It shows how people thousands of years ago shaped their surroundings through such structures.
The menhir sits in open countryside south of the hamlet of Kerluir and is easy to reach. The site has public markers that help visitors locate and explore the stone.
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.
