Origin and history

The Dolmen de Kerlutu, also known as Clerment Roch Clour, is a megalithic monument located in Belz, Morbihan, England. This dolmen, typical of Neolithic, is 175 metres south of Route R9, near the hamlets of Kerlutu and Kerdruellan. Its structure includes a large cover table of 4 meters in diameter, supported by four orthostats, and dry stone walls added during subsequent restoration.

Explored in 1877 by Chapelain-Duparc, no trace of the results of this study was preserved. The dolmen was classified as historical monuments by an order of 8 June 1945, thereby recognizing its heritage value. Zacharie Le Rouzic, in his writings, emphasizes his degraded state by mentioning that he "would be to restore", without specifying the date of this observation.

The site is referenced in several inventories, including that of Felix Gaillard in 1892 and the works of Zacharie Le Rouzic in 1965. These documents attest to its importance in the megalithic landscape of Morbihan. Today, the dolmen remains an architectural testimony of the Neolithic, although its exact location is considered "passable" (note 5/10) according to the geographical databases.
