The Cairn of Barnenez is a Neolithic monument in northern Finistère, Brittany, France. It dates to the early Neolithic, about 4800 BC.

That is staggeringly ancient.

Today, the Barnenez cairn is 72 m long, up to 25 m wide, and over 8 m high. It is built of 13,000 to 14,000 tons of stone. It contains 11 chambers entered by separate passages.

Loads of it was quarried away in modern times but it's been cleaned up pretty nice and is protected now.

It is one of the earliest megalithic monuments in Europe and one of the oldest man-made structures in the world!
