The upper soil has been removed, so that the whole is exposed to the 
view. The entrance consists of four upright slabs with a covering 
stone seven feet long, out of which extends a corridor with two 
chambers on the right and one on the left, with a terminal chamber 
of six upright wall slabs and a cover ten feet long ; the height is six 
feet internally. Continuing along the road the Dolmen of Mané 
Kerioned is reached standing on a mound, which is mounted by eight 
steps. There are three Dolmens in this group with different orienta- 
tion. Into one it is necessary to descend nine steps. Inthe second 
were found some curious beads of amber, rock crystal, jade, lapis 
lazuli, agate, and glass black and white which are now deposited in 
the Miln Museum at Carnac. The third stands ina more elevated 
part of the Tumulus and is very massive. 
From this point the main road is left and a cart track followed in a 
S.S.E. direction, and the alignments of Ménec are soon reached with 
eleven rows of stones, only seven of which are now perfect but 1,204 
stones are still left in this series. The direction is East and West, 
the stones at the latter being far higher than at the opposite end. There 
is a large prostrate slab at the Western end, wedge shaped twelve feet 
long, nine wide and five thick at the base. There is one tall stone 
said to mark the solstitial point. All the stones are of the granite of 
the country. 
At the head of these alignments, a Cromlech or circle of stones 
originally existed, only half remaining, now the fence of a kitchen 
garden of the farmer of Ménec. 
There are three other sets or rows of stones in the the Carnac 
systems, called Kerlescan (the place of burning) Kermario (the palace 
of the dead) and Manio. In the first the Eastern end changes its 
direction to the North Eastward and there are traceable fourteen 
rows and a cromlech of thirty-nine Menhirs at the West end. The 
stones of Kermario are more gigantic than in the other alignments, 
but all the systems have a dominant solstitial Menhir, that of Ménec 
measuring ten feet eight inches, that of Manio twenty one feet. It is 
said that Ménec is aligned on the summer solstice, Kerlescan on the 
winter and Kermario on both solstices. 
Near the village of Carnac there is a large tumulus, called Mont 
St. Michel, with a chapel on its summit which is some fifty feet above 
the plain. Atits South side are the Gallo-Roman remains called “ Les
