In broken English I was asked what I was taking photos of, apparently they had lived there for years and had no idea it was other than natural rocks, not sure they were very impressed, however, they now know!
This alignment has some of the most interesting individual stones I have come across, what was meant to be a quick visit occupied much of the afternoon
Assume it was once a full circle, difficult to guess as only one quadrant remains
The remains are pretty impressive as they are, however, you cannot help but wonder how big this cromlech originally was.
This dolmen has done well to survive among the holiday homes, unusual selection of stones used in its construction
This may look a little out of place, however, it is the third of the menhirs here at Manemeur and now. like so many on Quiberon, serves as a village set piece
Sister stone just across the road from each other, this one defying the cafe to spread any further out
Interesting looking site on Quiberon, however, fenced off on the day I visited so excuse poor photos
Pleasant place to explore. Old quarry work everywhere and popular with dog walkers. Paths zig zag the moor and circle (cairn circle) easy to find
To be seen on a very pleasant autumn walk which takes you along Froggatt Edge and back via White Cliff Edge
Nice time of year to visit this site, the bracken has died down and beautiful autumn colours everywhere
Over the years the site has grown into quite a complex for study and visitors with a museum, study centre and parking for visitors
More conventional in design with the use of megaliths to both support and enclose
This rather unimposing hill contains the most beautiful twin chamber tomb, one of three major megalithic tombs in the town of Antiquera. The entrance can just be seen to the middle left
Exciting to be able to enter the tomb standing upright after all those that we have to crawl into
Beautiful beehive interior of the tomb and the mix of architectural styles with megaliths supporting and covering and smaller stones used to construct the walls
I do understand that if you 360 any stone circle or burial chamber you will find some form of alignment, however, surely this is more than just coincidence
You can almost drive to this little burial site, regardless, a very peaceful spot. Rather ruined site, popular with walkers and evidence of much more activity scattered around the area
Typical day on the Welsh hillside, starting to rain at the circle and the sky turning very dark whilst the distance bathing in bright sunlight.
The steep unrelenting uphill walk from the car parking area (fork in road at the bottom of the hill) took me slightly by surprise, although fortunately not too far.
Parked in the village hall, popped in to check it was OK and they made me a cup of tea and slice of cake!
Impressive now, easy to imagine how much more so this must have been 5000 years ago when (presumably) a fully covered mound
