Tumular tertre and the three lying menhirs (Box E 437): by order of 9 May 1938
Origin and history
Mané-Klud-er-Yer's tumulus is an iconic megalithic site located in Carnac, Morbihan, England. It is roughly quadrangular (15 m × 30 m) in shape and consists of three lying menhirs and is in the immediate vicinity of the Kluder-Yer dolmen, about ten metres south. Its name, of Breton origin, means "poil perch". The monument is located about 180 m northwest of the RD768 departmental road and 150 m northeast of the hamlet of Ty-er-Go.
The site dates from Neolithic and was classified as historical monuments by order of 9 May 1938. In 2012, a clearance operation freed the mound from the vegetation that covered it, thus more clearly revealing its structure. The tumulus is close to other megalithic remains, highlighting the archaeological richness of the region of Carnac, known for its menhir alignments and dolmens.
The approximate address of the monument, according to available data, is the 2 Bis Route from Quelvezin to Carnac (code Insee 56034). The accuracy of its geographic location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), reflecting the limitations of current cartographic sources. This site is part of a wider set of protected monuments, illustrating the importance of megalithism in Brittany during the Neolithic period.
