The pillars form a double-sloped roof, unique in Brittany. Only five examples of this type exist in Finistère. The chamber measures 9.5 meters in length. The site served as a collective burial ground for Neolithic farmers. The monument was rediscovered in June 1947 by Pierre-Roland Giot. It has been a listed monument since 1953.
