A lot of history in this place! One is simply sure about their origin.

According to Wikipedia, this monument dates from the Neolithic period and was used as a burial. it is a set of around fifteen granite slabs, four of which form the cover of the grave. The dolmen stretches over a length of approximately 8.7 m, including 3.5 m for the burial chamber alone.

The Kermario Stone Lines are clearly visible from the observation tower erected here. These megalithic structures were built in the Neolithic period (from c. 4500 BC) and were used until the Bronze Age (c. 2300 BC).
The Kermario Stone Lines extend over the early Neolithic long mound of Le Manio.

Interesting that there is no exact explanation for this.

The two very popular comic book heroes Asterix and Obelix – not only in their literary homeland of France – naturally discover Brittany and the enormous stone rows from ancient times found there on their very own "Tour de France" (titled "Le Tour de Gaule," volume 5 of the French edition, but volume 6 in the German edition). However, the explanation given to the two travelers for the origin of the megalithic culture is too simplistic: People say the soil is so poor, only stones grow there; this can be read in the comic.
