Alcalar Monument 7
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Portugal (Faro)
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2008
Alcalar monument 7 submitted by paulcall on 1st Sep 2008. A more recent view down the entrance passage than that previously submitted by David Morgan during reconstruction. The passage is now completely roofed over. I am not large, but the inner blocking stones are so close together that entry into the central chamber was impossible. This may have been a deliberate attempt to stop entry when the tomb was reconstructed.

La Cabane del Moro
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Languedoc:Pyrénées-Orientales 66)
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2008
La Cabane del Moro submitted by paulcall on 1st Sep 2008. I could not find this dolmen on a recent attempt, even though it is named on the IGN 1/25000 map just north of Llauro (but without the small dolmen symbol that is usually used).
The closest I came was finding this sign, so it should have been nearby.
