Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
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.

Bevis Thumb
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (West Sussex)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jan 2007
Bevis Thumb submitted by paulcall on 14th Jan 2007. This long barrow lies just south of a minor road north-east of Compton village. It lies on an east-west axis, and the road cuts into the barrow slightly at the eastern end. It is named after a giant, Bevis of Hampton, who is said to have been able to walk between Southampton and the Isle of Wight without getting his head wet. The barrow is about 50m long by 15m wide, and the fortuitously-parked car in the foreground gives some idea of its size. The barrow is also known as Solomon's Thumb or Bave...

Barkhale
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Causewayed Enclosure
Country: England (West Sussex)
Visited: Yes on 8th Feb 2007
Barkhale submitted by paulcall on 8th Feb 2007. As at the Trundle nearby, the neolithic causewayed camp here is hardly visible. There is a faint elevation (seen in the centre) in a field used for animals. All the surrounding fields are arable and ploughing would eradicate this site very quickly.

Long Down Flint Mines
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry
Country: England (West Sussex)
Visited: Yes on 8th Feb 2007
Long Down Flint Mines submitted by paulcall on 8th Feb 2007. At the map reference given by Vicky in her origin post of this site there is copse used by humans for feeding pheasants, and by rabbits as a warren. The copse is surrounded by an arable field and there is a mass of loose flint on the surface of the ground. If it was like this in the neolithic no actual mining would need to have been done to collect the flint. There is no evidence on the ground of any depressions that might indicate mining activity.

Linchball Hill submitted by paulcall on 1st Oct 2008. A view up Linchball Hill over the area marked on the map as containing four tumuli. The trig marker can just be seen on the horizon, about a third of the way across from the left. The lowest of the mounds can (with the eye of faith) be discerned in the right centre.

Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (West Sussex)
Visited: Yes on 1st Oct 2008
Bepton Down Bowl Barrow submitted by paulcall on 1st Oct 2008. Bepton Down bowl barrow as seen from the platform barrow. The dark nettles in the foreground are growing in the hidden ditch of the barrow on which I am standing. There is a cross dyke running across the far side of the field, although it is better seen on the other side of the South Downs Way, which is marked by the brown line of grass in the photo.

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.
