Menhir de Manemeur

 Menhir de Manemeur











The Menhir de Manemeur or menhirs de Mané-Meur is a menhir in the town of its name in Quiberon, a commune in the French department of Morbihan. 

The menhirs in and around this commune can be individually identified as Menhir de la Pointe des Gueritte and Allée couverte, Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec, Menhir de Manemeur, and Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec.

Description

This menhir is at a junction in the village, while three others are on the west coastal path. The Alignements de Kerbourgnec are about 3 kilometers north of the village, and the Dolmen de Renaron can be found about 4 kilometers north, but it contains only one stone.

The menhirs de Mané-Meur are identified as the three on the coast and not the tall stone in a garden as identified on Google Maps.


Analysis

Two stones of these menhirs are 97 meters apart to the west, and the smaller stone is located at 83° towards the southeast. These are 250 meters away from the village.

The Menhir de Beg Er Goh Lannec is also west of the village on the coastal path and 425 meters away from the other two at 55° towards the northwest.



Conclusion

It is possible the stones of the Dolmen de Renaron may have been moved to be a feature in a residential garden. This is one of the larger stones with a rounded shape. It is possible that these stones may have been a menhir, with this menhir being covered. This would explain the random sizes, but they could also just be random stones from house building.

As this area is low-lying the sea levels would have been much lower in Neolithic times, the coastal stones can be said to have been moved there more recently or as part of land clearing.
