Burial Chambers
St Just, Ille-et-Vilaine

A little further on and you come to a complex of sites starting with three burial chambers enclosed by a wooden fence that has an opening. These look to be quite restored.

Long Mound

Next to the chambers is a long mound inside a low fence. The mound is stone lined on the north and south sides and measures about 20x15m. It is aligned in an east to west direction and the two rows are about 5m apart. The south side consists of mainly low quartz stones and the north thinner schist pillars. 



All the stones lean outwards. At each end is a block, one has fallen. The slab at the east end covered burials.

Burial Chamber

A very neatly restored burial chamber and cairn is just beside the long mound and the construction is clear to see.
