A dolmen (also known as cromlech (Welsh), anta, Hünengrab, Hunebed, Goindol, quoit, and portal dolmen) is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of three or more upright stones supporting a large flat horizontal capstone (table). Most date from the early Neolithic period (4000 to 3000 BC). Dolmens were usually covered with earth or smaller stones to form a barrow, though in many cases that covering has weathered away, leaving only the stone "skeleton" of the burial mound intact. "Dolmen" originates from the expression taol maen, which means "stone table" in Breton, and was first used archaeologically by Théophile Corret de la Tour d'Auvergne. The etymology of the German Hünenbett or Hünengrab and Dutch Hunebed all evoke the image of giants building the structures. Of other Celtic languages, "cromlech" derives from Welsh and "quoit" is commonly used in Cornwall. Anta is the term used in Portugal, and dös in Sweden. Megalithic tombs are found from the Baltic Sea and North Sea coasts south to Spain and Portugal. Hunebedden are chamber tombs similar to dolmens and date to the middle Neolithic (Funnelbeaker culture, 4th millennium BC). They consist of a kerb surrounding an oval mound which covered a rectangular chamber of stones with the entrance on one of the long sides. Some have a more complex layout and include an entrance passage giving them a T-shape. It has been suggested that this means they are related to the passage graves found in Denmark and elsewhere. Dolmen sites fringe the Irish Sea and are found in south-east Ireland, Wales, Devon and Cornwall. In Ireland, however, dolmens are more to be found on the west coast, particularly in the Burren and Connemara, where some of the more well-known examples, such as Poulnabrone dolmen, are to be found. Examples have also been found in northern Ireland where they may have co-existed with the court cairn tombs. It is thought that the dolmens themselves evolved from a simpler cist burial method. A great many examples can also be found on the Channel Island of Jersey, such as La Pouquelaye de Faldouet, La Hougue des Géonnais and La Sergenté. The most famous of these sites is La Hougue Bie a 6,000 year old neolithic site that sits inside a large mound; later a chapel was built on the top of the mound. Amongst the vast Neolithic collections of the Carnac stones in Brittany, France, several dozen dolmens are found. And all around the country, several dolmens still stand, such as the ones of Passebonneau and des Gorces near Saint-Benoît-du-Sault. Various menhirs and dolmens are located around the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo. Pottery uncovered in these structures allowed the attribution of the monuments to the Tarxien cemetery culture of the Early Bronze Age.[1] This later culture is not to be confused with the Neolithic inhabitants of Malta, who built the Tarxien Temples circa 3100 BC. In France, important megalithic zones are situated in Brittany, Vendée, Quercy and in the south of France (Languedoc, Rouergue and Corsica). More than 10,000 dolmens and menhirs cover a large part of the country (west and south). Importants menhirs alignments in Brittany (Carnac's alignments count more than 1,000 menhirs) In Spain dolmens can be found in Galicia (such as Axeitos, pictured below), Catalonia (like Romanyà de la Selva or Creu d'en Cobertella) and Andalusia (like the Cueva de Menga). Dolmens can be found all over Portugal, from simple ones [1] to the more complex examples of megalithic architecture, such as the Almendres Cromlech or the Anta Grande do Zambujeiro. In Mecklenburg and Pomerania (Germany) and Drenthe (The Netherlands), large numbers of these graves were disturbed when harbours, towns, and cities were built. The boulders were used in construction and road building. There are still many thousands left today in Europe. In Italy some dolmens can be found in the south (Puglia) and in Sardinia. In Bulgaria there are many dolmens, and more are being recorded by archaeologists. The largest dolmen in Europe is the Brownshill Dolmen in County Carlow, Ireland. Its capstone weighs about 150 tonnes Les dolmens de Kerbourg ou aussi "dolmens de l'ile de la Motte", sont des allées couvertes situées sur la commune de Saint-Lyphard, à proximité du Village de La Madeleine (commune de Guérande), dans le département de la Loire-Atlantique, en France. Les dolmens de Kerbourg sont situés au sud-ouest du hameau de Kerbourg, près de La Madeleine, à peu près à mi-distance entre Saint-Lyphard et Guérande, sur le bord d'un champ et est accessible grâce à un chemin, à coté des moulins. Lors du défrichement des landes en 1874-1876 au sommet de la colline de Kerbourg, près des moulins à vent, deux dolmens ont été dégagés. Le ou les (?) cairns ont alors été arasés ne laissant que la partie mégalithique en place. L'aspect de ces sépultures devait être celui du cairn de Gavrinis, ou celui du tumulus de Dissignac à Saint-Nazaire. Les dolmens de Kerbourg sont classés à l'inventaire des monuments historiques depuis 1951. Datant du néolithique ancien ou moyen (vers 4500 / 4000 avant JC), d'une longueur de 7 mètres et d'une largeur de 3, souvent qualifié d'allée couverte, il s'agit en réalité d'un dolmen à couloir (dit en P)[1]. Il est constitué d'un corridor débouchant sur une chambre plus haute et plus large. La structure mégalithique est bien conservée et est toujours recouverte par quatre tables de granite. Son style de construction est à rapprocher du Tumulus de Dissignac. Ce dolmen était auparavant recouvert d'un cairn, actuellement disparu et dont les derniers vestiges ont probablement été arasé lors du défrichement de 1874-1876. Un dessin de 1866-1867 montre le dolmen dans la même configuration qu'aujourd'hui[2]. Les fouilles sommaires de l'époque ont montré que ces sépultures avaient été vidées à la fin du Néolithique, au Campaniforme, et pillées à l'époque romaine. (Fouillé par le Capitaine Lukis, le produit de ces fouilles non publiées serait, sous toute réserve, au British Museum, à Londres) Ce second dolmen, probablement de même nature que le précédent, est très ruiné. Seuls subsistent des éléments de la chambre sépulcrale, sur le bord du chemin, une vingtaine de mètres après Kerbourg 1. Elle a fait l'objet de fouilles sommaires de M. Benoist, notaire à Guérande, puis par H. Quilgars en avril 1897. A proximité des dolmens de Kerbourg, de l'autre coté de la route reliant Guérande à Saint-Lyphard, se trouve le menhir de la Pierre Blanche (ou menhir de La Madeleine). C'est un bloc de quartz blanc, haut de plus de 2 m. Un second menhir se trouvait à proximité immédiate, mais il a été détruit au début du XXe siècle. Source Wikipedia
