Tree falls on dolmen ISLANDERS are being warned to keep away from the site of an ancient tomb in St Martin that has been damaged by a large fallen tree. Robert Waterhouse (46), the field archaeologist for the Société Jersiaise, which is dedicated to preserving Jersey’s history and culture, said the 5,000-year-old Le Couperon dolmen, near Saie Harbour, had been hit by a 40-ft Monterey pine during a storm earlier this month. The fallen tree, which broke the western capstone – a flat stone on top of the tomb – is due to be cut up and removed this week. Any damage to the dolmen can then be properly assessed. http://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2016/03/22/sticks-and-stones-tree-falls-on-dolmen/
