On a very hot day this site provided refuge for everything that bites!

Originally a single large chamber covered by a simple mound, estimated to be over 4000BC
Situated right alongside a minor road about 15 mins outside Le Man
The devil was tricked by the local miller into building a dam in return for his soul, when he sent his dog out in his place the devil destroyed the dam in a furious rage and slept here to aid his recovery
Painted white on the autumn equinox to stop the devil unplugging the tunnel to hell in a ceremony by the local ‘Werisiens, and why not!
Farmer refused to have it in his field (original location) and it was placed in the adjacent lane. Last time I visited you could at least see it, now its almost entirely disappeared into the undergrowth
Along with all the megaliths in Weris, the local population are very familiar with them all and are frequented by school children on field trips to the monuments
Its socket hole for this stone and two others is some 130 mts away, however, the farmer refused to have them in his field so one was placed here and two nect to the Dolmen Weris 1
The dolmen is below ground level in a large pit and it is possible the monument was originally covered by an earthen mound
These standing stones were only excavated in 1986 and re erected in their original socket holes.
Every site in Weris is linked to the famous ‘Weris Alignment’, these rather beautiful stones are at the southern end. Over recent years the tree has become integral to the overall site
Once stolen to embellish a local hotel these stones have been replaced into, or near, their original position
The groove was made by the horse (Bayard) who was carrying the four sons of Aymon when he jumped from here to the village of Durbuy some 2 miles away
Beautiful day when the trees the grass and the hunbedden all appeared to merge into one
This large hunbedden was sparkling today with the sun finding its way through the trees and reflecting off the stones
This destroyed hunbed is also known as Pottiesbargien due to the large quantities of pottery discovered when the site was excavated
A very pleasant walk through the wood leads to this site, very fortunate with a perfect sunny day
Although I have been fortunate to visit D52 before I hadn’t been aware there was a destroyed one close by, so happy to rectify that on this trip
