Log Text: Recent work carried out to remove spray-paint grafitti, by powerwasher. End stones now have areas clean of lichen.
A private garden backs onto the site with some litter and builder's rubbish and a disused outhouse rather detracts from these impressive stones.
A Jersey National Trust employee found a Roman coin whilst strimming in 1999 (but then immediately lost it again).

La Hougue de Vinde submitted by Adam Stanford on 24th Nov 2004. La Hougue de Vinde is a Cist-in-Circle of unknown date in the parish of St Brelade at Grid Ref: 608472.

Faldouet Dolmen submitted by attlebax on 16th May 2011. This site is well marked from the road and is on the Jersey map. The lane outside is narrow and has high banks so it is best to park just up the road. Not easy for any wheelchair users.
