The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le menhir de Kermapeulven, l'un des plus beaux des Monts d'Arrée, est un bloc de granit local haut de 6 m, régulièrement fusiforme. Son implantation en tête de vallon en fait un exemple caractéristique de menhir de source, même si celle-ci ne coule plus naturellement depuis l'installation du village.

History
The menhir of Kermapeulven, one of the finest of the Monts d'Arrée, is a block of local granite 6 m high, regularly fusiform in shape. Its placement at the head of a valley makes it a characteristic example of a spring menhir, even though the spring no longer flows naturally since the installation of the village.
