Geophysicist Roger Guérin's team has completed a multi‑method geophysical survey at Carnac in Brittany, France, between and around the Kerlescan alignments. The 2024 fieldwork evaluated modern geophysical methods for detecting subsurface features at the site. Carnac already hosts over 3,000 standing stones, one of the most remarkable Neolithic megalithic landscapes in Europe.
