Te Punga a Matori
Date Added: 10th Jun 2012
Site Type: Sculptured Stone
Country: New Zealand
Visited: Yes on 24th Nov 2008
Te Punga a Matori submitted by DrewParsons on 24th Nov 2008. Te Punga a Matori - the anchor stone from the ancestral Tokomaru Canoe. The Tokomaru was one of a number of ocean going canoes which carried Maoris to New Zealand around 800 years ago. There are conflicting stories surrounding the commander of the Tokomaru, one has Manaia as its commander and another has Whata. It carried the peoples who form the tribes around Mt Taranaki also known as Mt Egmont. The anchor stone is housed in New Plymouth's city museum.

Site Type: Standing Stones

Waun Mawn NE submitted by Horatio on 25th Jun 2019. Seems as though the jury has come to a conclusion about a circle stone row or not.
'Conclusions
The discovery of five empty stone sockets beyond the west and east ends of the arc of four
former standing stones at Waun Mawn, together with another (stonehole 091) on the
opposite side of the hypothesised circle, confirms that this monument was constructed to
be a large stone circle, as originally hypothesised by the Royal Commission in 1925'

Allée Couverte de Saint-Eugène
Date Added: 7th May 2017
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Languedoc:Aude (11))
Visited: Would like to visit
Allée Couverte de Saint-Eugène submitted by thecaptain on 14th Mar 2006. Up on top of a pine covered hill is an open flattish area, upon which is built this lovely tomb. It has all been much restored, so quite how much is original I do not know.
The first thing you see is a circular stone wall containing a stone cairn, about a metre high and about 25 metres in diameter, with upright slabs every 5 metres or so around its circumference. Within this is the remains of a massive structure, and a partitioned chamber.
