Kingston Russell Circle submitted by paulcall on 12th Feb 2007. A panorama of 4 photos taken from the south in February 2007. The ditch around the circle can be clearly seen, and presumably is the result of recent farming.

Nine Stones (Dorset)
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 12th Feb 2007
Nine Stones (Dorset) submitted by paulcall on 12th Feb 2007. Photographing the whole of this circle probably needs a fish-eye lens. This is a panorama from 3 photos taken from the north. Although perhaps emphasised by the perspective there is a large gap between the huge stone on the left and the small stone on the right. Were there once other, missing, stones in this arc of the circle?

Duloe submitted by paulcall on 17th Feb 2007. The 'rotundly anthropomorphic' southern stone at Duloe. An unwieldy description, but......

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Larkbarrow Corner Standing Stone submitted by paulcall on 23rd Apr 2007. A rather mean-spirited farmer shouted 'Oy' at me, and would not let me get anywhere near this stone. This is as close as I got !

Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Alderman's Barrow submitted by paulcall on 23rd Apr 2007. Huge, and easy to find by the side of the road. Wish the same could be said for Madacombe Stone Row, just to the west.

Dolmen de Peyre Nègre
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Aquitaine:Dordogne (24))
Visited: Yes on 27th Aug 2007
Dolmen de Peyre Nègre submitted by paulcall on 27th Aug 2007. This is a tricky one to find! Although only 15metres from the road the dolmen itself is hidden within a clump of bushes with a small tree, and is best viewed from the side away from the road. This is what you will find - its very delapidated.

Puy de Bon Temps Dolmen
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Aquitaine:Dordogne (24))
Visited: Yes on 27th Aug 2007
Puy de Bon Temps dolmen submitted by paulcall on 27th Aug 2007. This dolmen is signposted from the D68, but the sign is only visible when travelling south down the road towards Ajat. I missed the sign, and approached the dolmen from the other end of the track and ended up walking about 1 Km instead of a few metres!

Allée couverte de Blanc
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Aquitaine:Dordogne (24))
Visited: Yes on 27th Aug 2007
Allée couverte de Blanc submitted by paulcall on 27th Aug 2007. This is probably the best preserved megalithic monument in the south of Perigord, and is one of only 2 such monuments marked on the tourist maps.
It is signposted from the D676 south of Beaumont-du-Perigord, and so is easy to find.

Maison du Loup dolmen 1
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Aquitaine:Dordogne (24))
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2007
Maison du Loup dolmen 1 submitted by paulcall on 4th Sep 2007. This is a tricky monument to find, even with ocdolmen's GPS co-ordinates, and its proximity to the east side of the D2 road north of Montpazier. It is found in a clearing just north of the turnoff to Borie-Neuve, but there is a lot of secondary growth and only the top of the largest stone can be seen from the road. This view shows the allee couverte from the west.

Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Aquitaine:Dordogne (24))
Visited: Yes on 10th Sep 2007
Point du Jour dolmen submitted by paulcall on 10th Sep 2007. This is a view of the dolmen from the south, where there are a few tables for a picnic.
The site is easy to find as it is one of only 2 megalithic monuments in the south of Perigord marked on the tourist maps, and is signposted from the D2 between Monpazier and Villereal. There is a collection box to help upkeep above the left hand end of the capstone.

Carn of Works
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 14th Oct 2007
Carn of Works submitted by paulcall on 14th Oct 2007. I had a terrible job finding this, and only recognised it when I came across the L-shaped combination of stones illustrated in a plan of the site in Jeanette Ratcliffe's excellent book 'Scilly's Archeological Heritage.' The view towards the island of St Mary's is marvellous (but then so are most of the views on Scilly!).
