Saint Uzec menhir
Pleumeur-Bodou
About
A menhir 7.40 m high and 2 m wide stands in Saint-Uzec. Imagine our Neolithic ancestors transporting this huge block of granite weighing 60 tonnes! These megaliths probably fulfilled a religious role, although our understanding of their purpose remains limited. In the seventeenth century, the Saint-Uzec menhir was Christianised. A cross was added at the top and images of the Passion carved onto the south face. Walk along the side of the Chapel dating from the sixteenth century. Further downhill, you will see a fountain. Water was drawn from this fountain to increase the milk supply of sows after they had farrowed.
