Léchiagat menhir
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2009
Léchiagat menhir submitted by paulcall on 22nd May 2009. This was my favourite menhir from a recent trip to Finistere. It is particularly photogenic within the marsh, but it is a shame that it is surrounded on houses on all sides. I may have a go at Photoshop-ing them out.

Lesconil allée couverte
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 21st May 2009
Lesconil allée couverte submitted by paulcall on 21st May 2009. This is an impressive buttressed (arc boutee) allee couverte, with the side stones resting against each other to make an allee that is trangular in cross-section. In this photo from the north-east the edge stones of the peristalith can be seen behind the tree.

Lespurit-Quélen menhir
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2009
Lespurit-Quélen menhir submitted by paulcall on 22nd May 2009. Clearly marked as a single menhir on the Bleu series IGN map, I was surprised to discover that there was a second fallen stone at this site. Perhaps the french cartographers don't count menhirs couchees. This standing menhir is about 7.5 metres tall, 2.5 metres wide and 1 metre deep.

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.

Llanfechell 2 submitted by paulcall on 18th Aug 2006.
Another view, showing the lean of the stone. A buzzard was using it as a perch as I approached.

Llech Y Dribedd submitted by paulcall on 4th Sep 2008. This is a fantastic capstone, balancing on three of four uprights, one of which has a nasty crack in it.

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.

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.

Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 6th Sep 2008
Meini Gwyr submitted by paulcall on 6th Sep 2008. It is such a shame that only 2 stones remain of what would have been a lovely monument in its original state.

Menhir de Kervedal
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 18th May 2009
Menhir de Kervedal submitted by paulcall on 18th May 2009. This would have been quite an impressive sight at the time it was vertical - sadly it is now 'sleeping'. It is 7 metres long and about 1.5 metres in diameter. GPS 47.82176 4.35833 W. It is lying rather forlornly at a road junction on the outskirts of St-Guénolé.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Portugal (Faro)

It is also known as Menir de Padrao This stone is found south of Raposeira, by heading out of the village and turning right onto the first road, and driving about 500m.

Mulfra Quoit submitted by paulcall on 28th Nov 2006. A more distant view of the quoit situated right on the top of the hill. The climb up to see it after heavy rain was 'unpleasant'.

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?
