Dolmens de Mané-Kervilor, Neolithic burial site in La Trinité-sur-Mer, France.
Dolmens de Mané-Kervilor are three gallery dolmens, perhaps covered alleys, that are all that remains of an oval cairn on a small wooded hill. The western dolmen has lost its capstones: a corridor about 6 m long leads to an oval chamber of about 4 × 3 m. The central dolmen keeps three slabs, two over the corridor and one forming part of the chamber ceiling. The eastern dolmen keeps two slabs, one over its roughly 4 m corridor and one over a rectangular chamber of about 3 × 3 m.
The monument dates from the Neolithic. Of the original oval cairn, three gallery dolmens, possibly covered alleys, remain. The site was classified as a monument historique by decree of 20 April 1927.
The name Mané-Kervilor combines the Breton words for hill and the nearby hamlet of Kervilor, about 250 m to the north-east. The three gallery dolmens are what remains of a single oval cairn, and the site is a classified historical monument under the arrêté of 20 April 1927.
Access is by marked hiking trails leading from La Trinité-sur-Mer, with information panels along the paths. The site is open year-round, though it sits on uneven wooded ground that can be muddy after rain.
The three gallery dolmens are what remains of a single oval cairn; no excavation is recorded in the sources. The monument was classified as a historic monument by decree of 20 April 1927. The western dolmen keeps a corridor about 6 m long leading to an oval chamber of about 4 × 3 m.
