Cairn de Barnenez
They are virtuoso builders. These tombs have two types of vaults: a flat stone as in the classical dolmens or a «false dome» rounded in a clever juxtaposition of small flat stones. The construction dates from the Neolithic period (4,500 to 3,500 years before Christ), a period that corresponds to the sedentarization of the man who becomes a farmer-breeder.
