The Kergavat dolmen (or Kergarat dolmen, Er Roc'h, Kergouvat dolmen, Plouharnel dolmen) is a dolmen in Plouharnel, in Morbihan, France.
The dolmen is located on the northern edge of the RD781 departmental road, south of the town of Plouharnel, about 100 m as the crow flies north of the hamlet of Kergavat.
The dolmen was probably originally a covered alley, the south-east access corridor of which has disappeared in favor of the passage of the departmental road. Only the burial chamber has been preserved, consisting of a large oval covering slab of about 4 × 3 m, which still supports some orthostats.
The building dates from the Neolithic period.
The dolmen is classified as a historical monument on the 1889 list.
It is slightly damaged, during the Second World War, by the explosion of a shell.
