Lácara submitted by DrewParsons on 5th May 2010. The Marema sheep dog who told me off en route to find the dolmen. I have encountered these dogs before in France and Easter Island. Placed with a flock as a puppy they grow up with the sheep and see them as their pack whom they guard. He was a nice looking dog however!! April 2010.

Dolmen de la Motte
Date Added: 10th Jun 2012
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Pays de la Loire:Maine-et-Loire 49)
Visited: Yes on 4th May 2010
Dolmen de la Motte submitted by DrewParsons on 4th May 2010. At first glance the slot like cuts in the capstone looked like an earlier attempt to split it into two, but a closer examination showed them to be natural openings which may have given it some special significance to the ancients who constructed the site.

Le Grand Dolmen de Bagneux submitted by DrewParsons on 4th May 2010. In April 2010 the price of entry to the Grand Dolmen gardens was €3.50 for adults, well worth the cost.

Anta do Pinheiro 2
Date Added: 10th Jun 2012
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Portugal (Évora)
Visited: Yes on 4th May 2010
Anta do Pinheiro 2 submitted by DrewParsons on 4th May 2010. Visited in April 2010 the site has barbed wire around an enclave in front of it restricting access. The sign on the fence I later looked up in my dictionary and only meant "No Hunting", but it stopped me accessing the site. This view is taken from the road 20 metres away from where you can easily see the dolmen.
