Menhirs de Lespurit-Ellen, Megalithic site in Plovan, Brittany, France

The menhirs de Lespurit-Ellen are a group of three Neolithic standing stones in a valley between Plovan and Peumerit, in Finistère, Brittany. Only one menhir is still upright, rising about 5.4 metres; the other two lie on the ground. The stones were probably extracted from the small granite cliff visible nearby.

The three menhirs of Lespurit Ellen were probably extracted from the small granite cliff visible nearby. They were classified as monuments historiques by decree of 6 March 1923. One menhir still stands; the other two lie on the ground.

The site is reached by a dirt path through a small oak forest, giving the impression of entering a hidden place. On the surface of the tallest stone, visitors sometimes notice natural shapes that resemble faces or figures, an effect known as pareidolia.

The site sits in the countryside and is reached on foot via a narrow dirt path, so sturdy footwear is a good idea. There is no fenced enclosure, so it can be visited at any time of year.

The three menhirs were probably taken from the small granite cliff visible nearby. The tallest standing stone is given as 7 m in the French Wikipedia article and about 5.4 m, the highest in the region, in the German one. The nearby Dolmen von Penquélenne lies close by.
