Kercado Tumulus

The Kercado tumulus and alle couverte is back in Carnac,

where we drove next, again, about a quarter mile south

of the Kermario alignment. Again, it is something we

had never seen before--always in too much of a rush, I

guess, and the Carnac area has some 30,000 megaliths

to look at. Kercado is much older than anything else in

the area, dated authoritatively to 5,000BC, the oldest

known human stone construction anywhere. I am glad

we finally got around to seeing it! Above, Kercado

tumulus, really intact, with trees on top, etc.

Vicki atop the entrance...it's not small

The tumulus has a partially-intact stone circle around it, very

unusual for Brittany

Interior stone carvings..."abstract"

Ditto; I guess they got over the realism of the

Magdalene era (cave paintings, really old)
