Dolmen de Mané Canaplaye S is located on a path in woods c. 300m W of Saint-Philibert in Morbihan. The dolmen, which measures c. 1.5m high, is preserved in a fenced-off enclosure in a small clearing. The remains consist of a chamber with a large capstone measuring c. 2m wide. The chamber has a large flooring slab. An uncovered passage projects c. 1.5m ENE from the chamber.

There is a lay-by on the D781 at N47.590813, W3.010069. Walk 25m NE along the roadside to reach a track running S. After c. 110m walk straight into the trees avoiding private property. Continue along this path for another c. 200m to reach a junction. The ruined Dolmen de Mané Canaplaye N is located c. 10m E in a small clearing. After visiting this site return to the junction of paths, take the right path heading S. Follow this vague path for c. 130m to reach Dolmen de Mané Canaplaye S.
