The area lies in France’s Brittany region, along the blustery Atlantic coast and is well known for its extensive fields of Neolithic-era stones, called “menhir.
The site is part of an application for UNESCO World Heritage Status set to be submitted to the French Ministry of Culture at the end of September, the blogpost said. “Whether it’s little or not, [the site] has an archaeological value,” Obeltz told CNN affiliate BFMTV.
