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.

Bosdag Chambered Cairn submitted by kurgan on 27th Aug 2007. End Section of Chambered Cairn
Location: N 40 deg, 22min, 20.4 sec; E 49 deg, 21 min 20.2 sec.
This gravesite sits in the shelter of a hill and has several ruined building with square foundations nearby and an assortment of pottery.
Looking a bit like a dolmen I think this is the end section of a chambered cairn, one of two that I know of in Azerbaijan. Stones may have been reused for construction.
