Log Text: This is a blinking great big mound, it must be 50 metres in diameter and 10 metres high. It looks to have been well dug into and messed about with, but there is nothing obvious to see except for the large mound. I wonder what is underneath.

Log Text: As driving towards this from the east, it suddenly appears from behind something, before you arrive at the parking area and information sign beside the road. Whoooa, it’s a biggun ! It is said in legend that it is the place from where Caesar watched a great naval battle out to sea to the south of here, but there is not expected to be any truth in this, although from the top there is a tremendous view all around.
The mound is 86 metres in diameter and 20 metres in height, but it only has a single 4 metre by 2 metre magalithic chamber within it, which has been dated to 4700 BC. The insides of the monument are no longer open to public viewing.

Log Text: A walk along the coast path from Chapel Porth around St Agnes Head to Trevaunance Cove, meeting up with family for lunch at Schooners bar. A lovely walk with lots of old mine remains, from where we can see Tubby's Head jutting out into the ocean below, just about able to make out some of the defensive ramparts.
Trun menhir
Trip No.202 Entry No.66 Date Added: 29th Mar 2020
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Normandie:Orne (61))
Visited: Couldn't find on 2nd May 2005
Log Text: There is a menhir somehow incorporated into a southern corner of the church tower of this village where I stopped right by it to buy food and look at the village maps. How stupid I was to miss this one forgetting its existence only while I was there. Its why I went there ! Guess the lateness of getting my lunch was taking its toll.

Log Text: I went to have a look at this hilltop site, but time was getting on, and I could find no quick way up to the top of the hill, which has the remains of a prehistoric village and up to 9 burial chambers on it. I had a look, but could see nothing resembling a path at all, and the place was all very overgrown with rough scrub. I decided that I would probably get lost up there, so I headed off to find a campsite.

Trowlesworthy West enclosure
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2013
Trowlesworthy West enclosure submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd May 2013. A little way from the downhill end of the western stone row is a circular enclosure, about 10m in diameter.
I am not sure whether this is some kind of settlement enclosure (too big for hut circle, too small for animal enclosure) or perhaps a ring cairn.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Midi:Tarn (81))
Visited: Yes on 16th Sep 2005. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
Trou-de-l'Avent menhir submitted by thecaptain on 8th Jun 2009. In this pleasant little square are several other notable features, such as the 14th century laundry basins, and the 16th century Fontaine des Pisseurs, which was made to glorify the Dieuretic effect of the local waters !
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Once standing about 4 metres tall near to the Pierre Plantée de Lacaune, this menhir was broken up for use in building a mill and farm. The top 1.5 metres has now been rescued and installed in the Place de Griffoul in Lacaune town centre, just 100 metres behind the tourist office.
What a menhir this once would have been. In this pleasant little square are several other notable features, such as the 14th century laundry basins, and the 16th century Fontaine des Pisseurs, which was made to glorify the Dieuretic effect of the local waters !
Tronval Dolmen

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 17th Jun 2005. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Tronval dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 8th Dec 2006. Southwest of Plobannalec, the Tronval dolmens are found just a hundred metres walk from the Quélarn dolmens.
They look to be the remains of what appears to be a pair of chambers, just a few metres apart.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The Tronval dolmen is found just a hundred metres walk from the Quélarn dolmens parking area, on the opposite side of the road. There are the remains of what appears to be another pair of chambers, this time only a few metres apart. The southwestern one is completely collapsed, while the northwestern has a fallen capstone resting on two sideslabs, with perhaps an entrance passage, and two slabs jutting out sideways. Perhaps these are facing slabs to the front of the cairn ? The ruined chamber also has these side slabs which seem to be a feature round here.
I later found out that these are remains of a type of monument only found in this coastal part of southwest Brittany, and are compartmented dolmens, which had chambers with internal compartment slabs to break up the chamber into sections.
Trois-Tables-en-Place

Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Bretagne:Côtes-D'Armor (22))
Visited: Yes on 24th Jun 2005. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 2
Trois-Tables-en-Place submitted by theCaptain on 26th Jun 2012. What a lovely situation this is in, out in the sea amongst all these rocks and islets. The island itself is now a nature reserve. This is a smashing place, and well worth the effort of a visit.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The Trois-Tables-en-Place is a bit of a monster allée couverte, on the little island of Ile-Milliau which is reachable by foot only an hour or so each side of low tide. It is situated on a low flat spot just behind the farm buildings, in pretty much the middle of the island.
It has three capstones still on top of the upright supports, hence it's name, and there is at least another one fallen at the eastern end. It is about 14 metres long by 2 metres wide, and more than 2 metres high, with more than enough room to comfortably stand up inside.
What a lovely situation this is in, out in the sea amongst all these rocks and islets. The island itself is now a nature reserve and the previous buildings are uninhabited. This is a smashing place, and well worth the effort of a visit. There are rabbits hopping around everywhere, but a pity it has started to rain.
