Locmariaquer megaliths
The Locmariaquer megaliths are a complex of Neolithic constructions in Locmariaquer, Brittany. They comprise the elaborate Er-Grah tumulus passage grave, a dolmen known as the ''Table des Marchand''〔Named after a local family.〕 and "The Broken Menhir of Er Grah", the largest known single block of stone to have been transported and erected by Neolithic people.
==The Broken Menhir of Er Grah==
The broken menhir was erected around 4700 BC, at the same time as another 18 blocks nearby, it is thought to have been broken around 4000 BC. Measuring , with a weight of 330 tonnes,〔 "The Seventy Wonders of the Ancient World" edited by Chris Scarre 1999 〕 the stone is from a rocky outcrop located several kilometres away from Locmariaquer. The impressive dimensions of this menhir still divide specialists about the techniques used for transport and erection, but the fact that this was achieved during the Neolithic era remains remarkable.
Worked over its entire surface, the monument bears a sculpture representing a "hatchet-plough". Unfortunately today this is seriously eroded and very difficult to see.
