Hey!
Finally made it to the Cairn de Barnenez the other day, which is fantastic. The fifties quarrying has exposed the back of the dolmens of the secondary cairn. Indeed, it is one of the few places with corbelled chambers intact, makes sense out of those really low orthostats in the chambers of many denuded breton dolmens. Check it out, even if it does cost 4euros 60....
I also visited a number of, thus far nameless, allee couvertes earlier in the week. One was very interesting in that it had its orthostats leaning against each other, as in around eight other examples around here, but then there were huge capstones balanced atop the lot and leaning also on the cairn! Could the others hereabouts have once had this feature too?
Gonna try and see some more stuff soon, hope yer all cool, Mark

What about the carved standing stone inside Cairn de Barnenez! Isn't that amazing.

North Brittany has some great sites. I'd like to go back and take a better look.

Ayup Mark!

Good to here from you & great that you finally got up to Barnanez! Told you it was ace - not that you needed telling! Hope you saw plenty of the other stuff up there. As K said, it's an area that seems to get overlooked a bit by many peeps - we certainly intend to check it out some more before too long.

Where was the 'leany-but-capstoned' allee? Was that oop noorth?

How much longer are you out there for?

love
