Stopped by this Roman villa, but it was going to take too long for a proper visit, so satisfied myself with a look over the hedge from the car park.

Tottiford Reservoir Row S submitted by TheCaptain on 15th Sep 2022. Looking southwards along the double row. I'm sure some of those large stones on the shoreline would have once been part of this row.

Log Text: With the drought of 2022 now exposing the stone circle in Tottiford reservoir, I went down for an exploration. In the southern part of the reservoir, is an obvious large mound, which is all sandy rather than dark mud covered. To the south of the mound, which is elongated in this direction, can be seen remains of a double stone row extending further south into the waters of the lake. It was too wet and muddy for me to get to any of the obviously remaining stones, and the water level of the reservoir was such that some of the stones were surrounded by water, and more could be seen further south and running below the water level. What stones I could see looked regularly spaced. On the sloping lakeshore, there are many large stones laying around, of which I have no doubt many have been removed here from the stone rows.

Log Text: With the drought of 2022 now exposing the stone circle in Tottiford reservoir for only the second time in 150 years, I went down for an exploration. In the southern part of the reservoir, below the footpath causeway bridge, can be seen a single row of stones progressing across the muddy lakebed in a westerly direction from the eastern shore. About 50 metres in length, several regularly spaced large stones can be seen. Trying to get close to the main part of the row, and to walk along its length proved futile, as the mud was very deep and wet. I saw nothing which really resembled a terminal cairn.

Tottiford Reservoir mound submitted by TheCaptain on 13th Sep 2022. The Mound seen from the eastern shore of Tottiford Reservoir

Log Text: In the southern part of the reservoir, is an obvious large mound, which is all sandy rather than dark mud covered. No doubt this has been some form of island at some time. To the northeast of this mound is the remains of a stone sircle, and then further away a single stone row. To the south of the mound, which is elongated in this direction, can be seen remains of a double stone row extending further south into the waters of the lake. To the east of the mound, between it and the eastern shore, can be seen several round piles of stones, which may be ancient cairns, but I am not too convinced, as they look neither big enough, and seem strangely spaced and positioned in what would have been a wet position. Watching the Time Team program later and theyfound much mesolithic flint on the mound, suggesting it had been in use for millennia.

Log Text: With the drought of 2022 now exposing the stone circle in Tottiford reservoir for only the second time in 150 years, I went down for an exploration. Despite overnight storms making the lakebed very wet, slippery and muddy, I was able to walk to the circle, and around most of it.
In the southern part of the reservoir, below the footpath causeway bridge and to the northwest of the obvious lage dry mound, can be seen a few stones of a stone circle. I was able to get across the mud to the nearest stone, and once there it seemed that the circle was arranged around the outer edges of another smaller dry mound. I got to walk around most of the circumference of the circle without too much mud, and noted about 8 to 10 stones, which would have made up a decent circle with regularly spaced stones.
Trying to get across to the large dry mound I had no chance, as there was deep wet mud between the two, presumably an old river course separating the two, so I had to go back the way I had come across the mud from the eastern shore of the reservoir.
Despite getting very wet and muddy feet, and slipping several times, I managed to make it back to dry land without falling flat in the mud! I was really pleased with myself for getting to visit this circle, as I never thought I would even see it, let alone be able to have a proper visit.

There seemes to be a fairly regularly spaced row of these stone piles along much of the eastern shoreline. Watching the Time Team program later and they showed that these were more likely relatively modern stone piles, possibly something to do with when the reservoir was being created.

Tottiford Reservoir submitted by TheCaptain on 8th Sep 2022. With the drought of 2022 now exposing the stone circle in Tottiford reservoir, I went down for an exploration yesterday. Despite overnight storms making the lakebed very wet, slippery and muddy, I was able to walk to the circle, and around most of it. My footprints make out the circle relatively clearly.
I didn't make notes, and from memory I was able to identify about 10 stones in the mud. Just a quick forst photo uploaded from my phone. In time I will sort out what I have taken.

The northern single, and double southern stone rows were clear, but surrounded by too much wet mud to walk along them for any distance.

Tossen-Keler Cromlech (1964-2018) submitted by thecaptain on 24th May 2007. For a reason unknown to me, the 40 metre diameter and 7 metres high Tossen Keler tumulus from Penvénan was excavated and totally removed in about 1960. The horseshoe of stones (cromlech) that surrounded it were moved to a position in a little public garden on the quayside here at the pleasant old port town of Tréguier.

Much of the horseshoe is here, but there was once a few stones with engravings on them, which are now in some museum or other somewhere, and have been replaced here with more modern stones.
I remember this as a pleasant grassy park from my previous visit, but when I revisited in 2005, apart from the grass within it, it is in a massive dusty car and bus park, looking very unloved. Its a shame.

Log Text: Following lunch in the old town at Treguier we were then heading north along the river to go and sort out the Roche Jaune menhir quandary, so first did a little detour by dropping down from the old town to the quayside for a quick look at the Tossen Keler cromlech.
Poor thing is looking very unloved today, with vehicles parked all around it and various funfair or market stalls nearby. In this situation, it looks not much more than a load of big stones used to divide up the quayside into carpark, boatyard, and other areas. What a shame. Dad was asking why it has been moved here, and I have to say, I still have absolutely no idea.
