Tossen-Keler
Cromlech
Tréguier, Côte du Nord
This
is a horseshoe shaped cromlech that was originally located just south of
Penvenan but after it was excavated in 1963-4 it was moved. It can be
seen in Tréguier and is by the estuary on the main road not far from
the bridge.
On
the original site there was a mound with the horseshoe almost enclosing
it. It is about 30m (100ft) diameter and open to the east. There are 50
granite stones are the two that flank the opening are larger. Three of
the stones had carvings but they were taken away. When excavated two of
the stones that had carvings were found to be set upside down so it was
assumed these were recycled stones from a nearby ruined burial chamber.
