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.
