Alignements de Kerlescan.

Carnac.

Plus petit que Le Ménec ou Kermario le site, daté du IVe millénaire avant notre čre, comprend environ 600 pierres levées sur treize files, ainsi que les vestiges d’une enceinte et d’une sépulture.
Il a permis aux chercheurs de comprendre que les menhirs ont été taillés sur place tant les affleurements rocheux portent des traces de leur exploitation.

Smaller than Le Ménec or Kermario the site, dating from the fourth millennium BC, includes about 600 stones raised on thirteen rows, as well as the remains of a wall and a burial.
It allowed the researchers to understand that the menhirs were cut on site as the rocky outcrops bear traces of their exploitation.

Best viewed in original side.

The text adds so much to this great image! It is difficult to comprehend how long they have stood and what made this worth the effort back then. V
