A few hundred metres north of Kerbourgnec beach lies a set of standing stones forming alignments. In the late nineteenth century, the French state purchased the site and had many of the stones re-erected, as it had done for the Carnac stone rows.
The state-owned site comprises a series of 26 stones in five rows, one of which now lies horizontally on the ground. Six steles scattered in private gardens to the east are also part of this ensemble, as are several hundred standing stones submerged beneath the sea towards the east – a clear indication of changes in sea level since the Neolithic Era.
The ensemble is closely connected to the menhir enclosure located 150 metres to the south-west, although this is no longer visible from the alignments due to the area now being built up. Visitors can however take a footpath between the two monuments.
