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.

Point du Jour dolmen
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!).

Works Carn, Bryher
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Oct 2007
Works Carn, Bryher submitted by paulcall on 22nd Oct 2007. This is a view of the chamber from above, from the promontary of Works Carn itself. It is quite difficult to get access this site owing to high growth of gorse, brambles and bracken.
The circular kerb around the grave is almost complete, and can be seen particularly well on the right of the picture. Two of five capstones are still in place.

Samson Hill, Bryher
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Oct 2007
Samson Hill, Bryher submitted by paulcall on 22nd Oct 2007. This is the southern of the two kerbed platform cairns on the east side of Samson Hill (GPS SV8793414245).
It is not as spectacular as the northern cairn, previously photographed and submitted by Thorgrim, as it is built into the natural promontary to a greater extent, and is therefore not as obvious. This photo shows the kerbstones on the centre-right and in the foreground, with a large natural rock centre-left.

Gweal Hill, Bryher
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Oct 2007
Gweal Hill, Bryher submitted by paulcall on 22nd Oct 2007. This view looks south over the southwestern cairn of the three on Gweal Hill.
The central cist can be seen centre-left, and there are two rings of kerbs both of which can just be seen on this photo, although the whole mound is now greatly weathered by its position on the most westernmost point of the inhabited islands on Scilly.

Site Type: Class I Pictish Symbol Stone
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jun 2008
Inverewe submitted by paulcall on 30th Jun 2008. An attempt to show the crescent and V-rod markings of this Pictish stone superimposed over the stone itself. The dot markings are very difficult to pick out. Pictish stones are a rarity on the west coast.

Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Languedoc:Pyrénées-Orientales 66)
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2008
Dolmen des Mouillières submitted by paulcall on 1st Sep 2008. A very ruined dolmen with no capstone now visible.

It is approached uphill along a footpath from gravel tracks between St. Michel de Llotes and Bouleternere. It is approximately 500m from Les Rieres dolmen, which is in much better condition.
Elevation 399m.

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.

Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2008
Moli del Vent submitted by paulcall on 1st Sep 2008. As Martyn has said, the capstone on this dolmen is a wonderful wedge shape, as viewed from both the west and south. This is taken from the west.

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.

Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2008
Alcalar monument 9 submitted by paulcall on 1st Sep 2008. This is a general view of monument 9, under reconstruction in 2008. It appears to have a similar entrance to that of the already reconstructed monument 7, and it points in the same ESE direction
