Your bike and a prehistoric site

Alauna - peeking over the wall
Not really Prehistoric but worked Prehistoric lithics have been found associated with the extra mural settlement, which was also occupied immediately before and after the Roman occupation.

All they need is a druid with a golden sickle standing on the top so the can reach mistletoe to cut

A dolmen, but I suspect it's a reproduction!

Central Brittany is rich in prehistoric sites and the land between the Claie and l’Arz valleys is particularly so. Dolmens, menhirs, allées couvertes (chambered graves) are everywhere, often tucked away in woodland and hard to access.

I cycled past le Chapeau de Roche (a few kms SW of Pleucadeuc) yesterday. There’s a standing stone there plus, a couple of hundred metres away, a collection of large stones that may, or may not, have been part of something more substantial. As these are so common, it’s almost impossible to find any info … the best I could dig up was “a curious rock formation”. Perhaps they're nothing more than a collection of erratics ... who knows?

If the ground they are on is a bit higher than the surrounding, then there is a reasonable chance it is Prehistoric
