Image credit: Tim Clark

Image credit: Tim Clark
Sunday 17 April 2005 ‘Les Géants’ – ‘table of sacrifice’ or altar stone
Image credit: Tim Clark

Tuesday 12 April 2005 The short path from the road – I think the high ground to my left in the pic could even be the beginnings of the original huge mound
Image credit: Tim Clark

Image credit: Tim Clark
Tuesday 12 April 2005 Massive capstone – each of the broken pieces is huge on its own
Image credit: Tim Clark
