Dehus Dolmen – Guernsey’s Most Impressive Passage Grave
drewbhoy
Field visit report 2016.
Details of the dun, more importantly vegetation free photos.
Excavations at a scooped settlement north of Moffat in October 2024 have helped shed light on life in Southern Scotland in prehistory.
From the roadside, Dun Telve presents a curious ‘cooling-tower’ profile, which is what distinguishes the structure of brochs. Apart from Mousa Broch, which is on Shetland, I believe it is the best-preserved of its kind. It rises to over 30 feet (10 metres) high, and you can see that the stones used to build it have been carefully selected and dressed to a specific shape and size. Some are strikingly patterned, and some are just plain huge, but all have been placed by skilled human hands to form a perfectly tapering cylinder. It’s just incredible.
