Menhir de Keloc'h

Menhir de Keloc’h, also called Kerlouc’h or Menhir de la Roche Jaune, stands beside Rue du Centre between Plouguiel and La Roche Jaune in the Département Côtes-d’Armor in Brittany, France. It is a menhir, meaning a large upright stone placed by humans.

The yellow standing stone is about 6,5 Meter high. It had long lain divided in two on a hillside and was restored with its tip put back in place. Its total length is 7,4 Meter. About 1,5 km west stands the leaning Menhir von Kerriou, which is about eineinhalb Meter high.

The menhir is dated to 2800 BCE to 1800 BCE by typological estimate. The pack does not provide information about the people who erected it, its original purpose, the circumstances in which it fell or broke, or the work carried out to restore it.

Menhirs are especially numerous in Brittany, where there are about 1,200 in north-western France alone and monuments vary greatly in form. The word “menhir” comes from the Breton maen and hir, meaning “long stone,” while the Breton word for such a stone is peulvan.
