Origin and history

Crucuny's alignment is a megalithic complex located in Carnac, Morbihan, England. Composed of five menhirs of modest size (less than 1 metre on average), it extends on a south-west/north-east axis, close to Route RD768. This site illustrates the funeral and symbolic practices of local neolithic societies, marked by the erection of raised stones.

Ranked a historic monument by order of February 9, 1940, the alignment is about 400 meters west of the hamlet of Crucuny and 380 meters northeast of Ty-et-Go. Its precise location, mentioned in the Merimée base under the code Insee 56034 (Morbihan), reflects its integration into a wider megalithic landscape, characteristic of the Carnac region. No information is available on any searchers or sponsors.

The menhirs of Crucanny, although of small dimensions, are part of the tradition of Breton alignments, often associated with ritual or astronomical functions. Their protection for historic monuments underscores their heritage value, despite the lack of detailed archaeological data in the sources consulted. The accuracy of their geographical location is estimated as "passible" (level 5/10), depending on the available databases.
