Dolmen de Corn-er-Houët

About

The covered driveway of Corn-er-Houët is located in Caurel in the French department of Côtes-d'Armor.

Description: The aisle is included in a 22 m long and 8 m wide oval tumulus bounded by a peristalith consisting of small slabs erected on chant. The gangway itself stretches 10 m in length for a width between 1.20 m and 1 m (in the centre). It is bounded by twenty-one orthostats. The floor height is only 1 m; There are only three tables of cover that have been moved. The entrance of the chamber is materialized by a slab erected mid-length in the middle of the aisle. Access to the interior of the driveway is through a south-west side lateral entrance located almost at the south end of the driveway. Two slabs of the vestibule have an engraved decoration consisting of a cartridge of the type "tables of the law" like the Stones Plates in Locmariaquer or the covered driveway of Luffang Tal-er-Roch in Crach.
