Log Text: King Arthur's Hall is unique in my experience. It is one of the most unusual monuments I have ever visited. Henges and pounds are normally round. The isolated location amplifies the special vibe exuded by this exceptional place.

Log Text: The stone circles are easy to find but difficult to interpret. I was able to get a reasonable grasp of the site after wandering around for half an hour. The SE Circle is more intangible than the NW Circle. The S Arc of recumbent stones adjacent to the stone wall are the key to interpreting the circle.

Log Text: Not for the first time, I was hypnotised by a stone circle and failed to recognise a nearby cairn. I did observe the mound from a distance but failed to investigate it. A Beginner's Error!

Log Text: Tumulus de St Michel is located on the NE edge of Carnac. Hotel du Tumulus is conveniently located adjacent to the giant mound. A small chapel is perched on the summit of the mound. There are two modern entrances, on the S and W sides, into the two chambers and passages buried within the tumulus. However, these are only accessible on guided tours. Despite the encroachment of modernity, Tumulus de St Michel manages to retain its gravitas.
