Located in Erquy in the Côtes-d'Armor department, the Dolmen de la Ville Hamon is a megalithic gallery grave. The monument was officially listed as a historic landmark in 1980.
The structure is partially ruined, with all slabs composed of pink sandstone from Erquy. A large cover table, measuring 2.85 meters long by 2.75 meters wide and 0.39 meters thick, remains in place, resting on two orthostates. The first orthostat measures 1.02 meters by 1.42 meters and 0.20 meters thick, while the second measures 0.97 meters by 1.10 meters and 0.13 meters thick.
The gallery grave originally featured two chambers, one situated to the north and another to the south. The structure opens toward the south, while the remaining slabs are now scattered in the surrounding area.
