The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le dolmen de Ty-ar-Boudiged est un remarquable exemplaire des sépultures en V, type de transition entre les dolmens à couloir et les allées couvertes. La chambre, longue de plus de 13 m, s'évase régulièrement depuis l'entrée, large de 1, 7 m, jusqu'au fond (3, 1m). De même, la hauteur interne augmente vers le fond où se note un pilier non fonctionnel. La couverture de l'entrée a disparu, mais trois dalles sont encore en place. Le tertre est bien conservé et est délimité de chaque côté par une ligne de dalles dressées qui paraissent dessiner un plan piriforme.

The dolmen of Ty-ar-Boudiged is a remarkable example of V-shaped burials, a type of transition between passage graves and covered alleys. The chamber, more than 13 m long, widens regularly from the entrance, 1.7 m wide, to the far end (3.1 m). Similarly, the internal height increases towards the far end where a non-functional pillar is noted. The covering of the entrance has disappeared, but three slabs are still in place. The mound is well preserved and is delimited on each side by a line of upright slabs which appear to draw a pyriform plan.
