Alignement de Kornevec

The Alignement de Kornevec, also known as Kernevec, Cornevic, or Cornévec, is a megalithic stone row at Camors in Morbihan, Brittany, France. Its menhirs stand in the forêt de Floranges, about 360 m as the crow flies southeast of the hamlet of Lann-Vihan.

Around fifty blocks form a row extending about 200 m along a west/north-east axis. Only two menhirs remain upright; the others were deliberately split or overturned. Their heights range from 1 to 3 m, and they are made of foliated Lanvaux granite.

The menhirs were classified as monuments historiques by decree of 28 August 1934. A typological estimate places the alignment in the period 3300 BCE to 2500 BCE. The surviving arrangement reflects substantial later damage, and the original number and full appearance of the stones are not known.

Stone rows of this kind are part of the dense concentration of megalithic sites around the south coast of Brittany. In general, the Carnac stones include alignments, dolmens, tumuli, and single menhirs, with more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones made from local granite. They are usually dated to the Neolithic, probably around 3300 BCE, though some may be as early as 4500 BCE.
