| Pena do Raposo Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Spain | Galicia | Visited | 1st Apr 2025 | 2 | 2 | 5 | An overgrown jumble at the gates of an industrial farm complex. Almost unrecognisable as a dolmen, with probable collapse of any head stone. | ||

| Montealegre Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Spain | Cantabria | Visited | 1st Mar 2024 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Situated in cow pasture, I walked right around it but could see nothing to distinguish it except to confirm it as a mound (approx 5m across) with a dimple in its centre. Nothing to photograph! | ||
| La Punta la Torre | Castro or Chafurdão | Spain | Asturias | Visited | 1st Mar 2024 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Stunning location with its views of the fortified cliffs outside Llanes. Only a small section remains, graffitied in parts. | ||

| Los Algarbes | Rock Cut Tomb | Spain | Andalucía | Visited | 27th Dec 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Somewhat neglected site that was clearly once well-managed, judging by the orientation and information slabs that form part of the path, enclosed by fencing and currently closed to the public.
The main feature is the hilltop rock out of which several caves have been formed. Some other caves in the... Read More |

| Alto de São Bento | Ancient Village or Settlement | Portugal | Évora | Visited | 21st Dec 2022 | 4 | 4 | I visited this place for its high position in the landscape and views of Évora.

The central windmill carries a notice indicating it to be... Read More |

"Pedra Sobre Alta" translates to "Stone on top of another" and you can see why from the photos. Owing to lack of time and overgrowth of bushes and... Read More |
