Origin and history

The menhir of Kergleuhan, located in the commune of Trégunc in Brittany, is a megalithic vestige whose exact origin is not documented in the available sources. This type of monument, typical of prehistory, is often associated with ritual or funeral practices, although its precise use remains subject to interpretation. Menhirs, like Kergleuhan, are important markers of the Breton landscape.

They reflect the social and spiritual organization of the Neolithic communities, which erected these stones for still partially mysterious reasons. Their presence attests to an ancient occupation of the territory and a culture rich in symbols.
