Origin and history

The 2 Menhirs de Caurel are megalithic remains located in the territory of the commune of Caurel in Brittany. Their precise dating is not documented in available sources, but their presence is part of the tradition of prehistoric monuments typical of this region, often linked to ritual or funeral practices. Menhirs, characteristic of the neolithic, were generally erected as territorial markers, religious symbols or memorials.

In Brittany, these megalithic structures are frequent and reflect the social and spiritual organization of ancient communities. Their alignment or isolation could vary according to their function, but their role in the cultural landscape remains a lasting testimony of this distant era.
