About Cairn de Kercado

Historic, Archaeology, Interesting Places, Other Archaeological Sites

Le cairn de Kercado est un monument mégalithique se trouvant au sud de l'alignement de Kermario, sur la commune de Carnac, dans le Morbihan, en Bretagne. Circulaire, il abrite un dolmen remarquablement conservé, à couloir et à chambre simple, bien différenciée.

Des datations hautes livrées par le carbone 14 (5200-4360 avant notre ère) ont fait un moment regarder le dolmen comme le « plus ancien d'Europe ». N'ayant pu recevoir confirmation, elles ne sont pas retenues par les archéologues. La diversité du mobilier traduit de nombreuses réutilisations du site, du Néolithique moyen au Campaniforme.
