Bois Couturier Allée couverte

Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Ile-de-France:Val-d'Oise (95))

Bois Couturier Allée couverte submitted by greywether on 30th Jun 2005. A truly superb site which deserves to be better known. Restored and still sitting in its mound, the exceptional feature is the complete rebated porthole. Better still, the porthole "stopper" survives and is on display at the local museum. To add to the interest, there is "breast and necklace" art on the two outer portals, although now faint. Fantastic!

Dolmen des Lacs 2 submitted by richardfrance on 28th Jan 2008. We found 2 & 3 at Les Lacs but ran out of time to search for the others. (see Les Lacs 2 for more, and www.dolmen.wordpress.com for more photos, archaeologist sketches, etchings from 19th.c. and more text).
This site, like so many in lower Languedoc, received a burst of attention in the '70's & '80's from academics on their way up, only to be left languishing. Perhaps funds dried up, perhaps reputations were now made, perhaps other bigger sites had a more cachet.

Bruyère d'Usclas

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Languedoc:Hérault (34))
Visited: Would like to visit
Bruyère d'Usclas submitted by TheCaptain on 27th Oct 2007. The front does not have the oven door of nearby Coste-Rouge, but the entrance is to one side, which shows evidence of a carved and enlarged opening area.
The stones are fitted so well that almost no light gets in apart from through the entrance.

Coste-Rouge Dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 7th Oct 2005. Coste-Rouge Dolmen on a sunny, but cold and windy afternoon in September.
Unfortunately, to see this dolmen nowadays, the full guided tour of the abbey has to be taken - there are no longer any open visits round the grounds because it has been made into an animal park.
But its worth it.
