This covered granite path, called short (unlike covered buttressed paths which have inclined walls), is located at an altitude of 35 meters and is oriented east-west. It measures 8.5 m long and 1.6 m wide and includes:
- a vestibule
- a burial chamber made up of two parallel walls (4 pillars to the north, 5 pillars to the south). The height of the slabs varies from 1m to 1m40. Two large tables provide cover for the monument. The covered walkway is surrounded by very high slabs, structures specific to the monuments of Ile-Grande and Keryvon. They are interpreted as being an intermediate wall inside the mound and whose purpose was undoubtedly to retain the earth from the tumulus. This covered alley was classified as a historic monument on January 23, 1956.
