Probably dating from the third millennium B.C., Prajou-Menhir is the largest of the gallery graves in Trébeurden. It measures 14.5 metres in length and is made up of seven stone slabs. Did you know that its name means "Meadonws of the long stones" in Breton? Erected during the Neolithic period, gallery graves are megalithic monuments which would have served as collective graves. Over the centuries, they have seen other uses by successive generations of local inhabitants, who transformed them into shelters or storage for tools, for example. These carvings, on the upright stones of the gallery grave’s most difficult to access area symbolise breasts and the great Mother Goddess of Neolithic times.
