Origin and history
Concarneau's dolmen is a megalithic monument dating from the Neolithic period, marked by the emergence of agriculture and livestock in Europe. This type of structure, usually associated with collective burials, illustrates the funeral practices and beliefs of prehistoric communities of the time. Dolmens were often places of remembrance and worship for local populations, playing a central role in their social and spiritual organization.
Ranked as a Historical Monument by decree of 29 September 1967, this dolmen is referenced under cadastre G 256. Its location, although known approximately (noted 5/10 in precision), is located near Keristin Beuzec, in Concarneau, Finistère. This classification reflects its heritage importance and the desire to preserve this emblematic vestige of the Breton past.
No additional information is available regarding its precise use or any archaeological excavations that could have been carried out there.
