www.tourisme.monuments-nationaux.fr CAIRN OF BARNENEZ A colossal ancient .

Situated on a promontory overlooking the sea, the Grand Cairn ACCESS de Barnenez is an unusual megalithic site in the north of the Finistère department. It was erected almost 6,000 years ago during the era, a recent Prehistoric period corresponding to the emergence of agriculture, domesticated animals and the first houses. Revealing a perfect mastery of dry stone building techniques, it comprises eleven passage tombs, some of which contain mysterious engraved symbols... A recent archaeological analysis, which you will see during your visit, offers a new interpretation of the cairn, showing the development of funerary architecture and rites over several centuries, culminating in this immense stone structure 70 metres long and almost 8 metres high that has defied time and the actions of men.
