Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc

Coste-Caude menhir submitted by TheCaptain on 13th Feb 2011. Just below the top of the hill below Coste-Caude dolmen 1, there is a track to the west, with what looks like, and is marked on the maps as a menhir. It is however a sculpture of a prehistoric man from about the year 1910, and his features can be made out when looking closely

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.

Dolmen de la Madeleine d’Albesse submitted by thecaptain on 7th Mar 2006. The chamber itself is quite large, but a bit of a wreck these days. It looks to be a sort of V shaped chamber 6 metres in length and up to 3 metres wide
It is open to the east at about 118°, which looks right along the valley below the ridge.

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.
