Fernworthy Cairn N
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jul 2014
Fernworthy Cairn N submitted by theCaptain on 26th Jul 2014. The cairn at the northern terminus of the northern stone row was until fairly recently covered by the forest, but this has now been cleared. Its not much to look at, but clearly defines the northern end of the row.
Its about 5 m in diameter with a couple of surrounding kerb stones, and what I suspect is one of the side stones to a central cist being the most obvious feature.

Fernworthy stone row SE
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 12th Feb 2019
Fernworthy stone row SE submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Feb 2019. The southeastern stone row is short and of small stones, hard to tell whether it is a single or a double row with little space between the two rows.
The northern terminus of the row has a cairn, but there is nothing obvious of the southern terminus, with just 20m of stones to be seen.

Log Text: This should have been a banker before moving on late in the afternoon it supposedly being just a hundred metres from the road at a very recognisable corner. I found the corner and parked and went for a look. I searched and searched but the area has become overgrown with scrub thorny bushes brambles wild rose etc. In fact I almost got lost and couldn’t find my way back. This 5 minute banker had turned into about an hour of frustration getting ripped to shreds and bleeding !
Finelle Dolmen

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Visited: Yes on 2nd Sep 2005. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 4
Finelle Dolmen submitted by TheCaptain on 6th Nov 2007. A bit to the west along the track running along the southern edge of the airfield, and you soon come to another dolmen.
This one has lost its mound, which has no doubt been used to build the local walls, and it is standing proud at the edge of a flat area used for dumping rubble etc.

Log Text: A bit to the west of the first dolmen, along the track running along the southern edge of the airfield, and you soon come to another dolmen. This one has lost its mound, which has no doubt been used to build the local walls, and it is standing proud at the edge of a flat area used for dumping rubble etc. Its a fairly standard southern French dolmen, with two 4 metre long sideslabs and a backstone between them, topped with a capstone, making a chamber 3 metres by 2 metres. There is some evidence of a front closing stone, and the chamber faces eastwards on a bearing of 095°.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Folatière dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 5th Dec 2005. Folatière dolmen, the remains of a capstone in an orchard, to the northeast of the massive nearby tumulus.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Much wrecked remains of a dolmen, near to the hamlet of Bel Air, a couple of kilometres to the northeast of the village of Luxé in Charente. At first I assumed the dolmen would be part of the tumulus and so was disappointed that I could not get to see it. However later in the day having seen a detailed map of the area I saw that the dolmen was marked a bit to the northeast of the tumulus so I went for another look. This time I saw a large stone in an orchard area ao went for a closer look. It would appear to be the capstone of a dolmen lying on the ground at a very steep angle. I could not tell whether it was on its own or there were any support stones underneath.

Log Text: This tumulus is obvious it can be seen from miles around up on top of a hill all covered in woodland.I parked and walked up “Rue de Tumulus” but could find no way of closer inspection as its all fenced off private land. The tumulus is really massive though and dwarfs the nearby farmhouse. Shame as its marked on my ign map so must have something worth seeing.
