14 The Dolmen-Mounds of Brittany. [January, 
(VII.) Round barrow, containing a megalithic dolmen, 
consisting of a chamber with the gallery at a sharp angle to 
it. Vide description already given of Kergonfals. 
(VIII.) Same type; gallery forming an angle with sculp- 
tured stones, as at Le Rocher and Les Pierres Plates. 
(IX.) Round barrow, containing two or more megalithic 
dolmens, either parallel, as Plouharnel and Kerlan, or at right 
angles to one another, as Les Grottes des Kerozille. 
(X.) Long barrow, containing a megalithic dolmen at one 
extremity, and other smaller kists, megalithic and built up, 
apparently of a secondary or additional period, e.g., Manné 
Lud and Le Moustoir. 
(XI.) Round barrow, containing long and straight avenue, 
square chamber, and blocks of noble proportions, highly 
decorated ; notably Gavr’ Inis. 
(XII.) Immense tumuli, containing comparatively insig- 
nificant kists, partially megalithic, partially dry-walled; for 
instance Mt. St. Michel (Carnac), Manné-er-H’roék (Loc- 
mariaquer), and Tumiac (Arzon). 
The last five divisions are all more or less sculptured, 
whilst cup-markings alone are found on some of the 
others. 
There are also found long barrows without any internal 
structure: these are not unfrequently accompanied by a 
menhir, as at Kerlescant; and in the same barrow were 
found two rows of small-sized blocks of stone, a species of 
revetment, perhaps marking the limit of the original barrow. 
Mr. Lukis attributes these barrows to a late period, but this 
will be alluded to in conne¢tion with the neighbouring 
alignments. 
Before approaching the subject of the dolmen-builders, it 
may be as well to give a short description of analogous 
structures in the Peninsula South of France, as well as to 
make some mention of those which are found in such num- 
bers in the North of Africa. The cromlechs in the British 
and Channel Islands are too well known to need any allusion 
being made to them. 
In the Peninsula the cromlechs, when denuded, are known 
under the name of Antas (a term about which there has been 
much disputing, but which, after all, seems to signify 
ancient altars used as landmarks) ; those partially enveloped 
in the tumulus, or on the summit of a mound, are termed 
Mamunhas (corruption of Mamua or Mamoa—tumulus) ; and 
when covered in, as the allées and grottes of Brittany, they 
are termed Furnas. 
In the year 1734 over three hundred of these remains are
