Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 8th Feb 2007
Grey Mare and her Colts submitted by paulcall on 8th Feb 2007. Faux Infra Red Photo. My first vist to this site. It reminded me of a smaller and more delapidated version of West Kennett, but was much more impressive than I expected.

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.

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 !

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.
