Thursday 14 April 2005 As Jane says in her fieldnotes, the heathland throngs with birdlife – a kestrel departs Chateau Bu as I arrive.

Access: Up quite a steep slope within the heathland of the St Just complex, which is generally reasonably flat.

Great place to get overview of a lot of the complex, preferably with binoculars &/or big lens.

Thursday 14 April 2005 If it wasn’t so goddam big & heavy, that capstone/lintel on the right would seem precarious!

Access: Right by main road D7, which is how we happened across it. It’s quite steep if you want to climb it – we didn’t (may be private land). I don’t think there were any fences at the time we were there.

‘Just’ a tumulus that we spotted as we headed home with no prior knowledge that existed. As far as I can tell, there’s nothing to see except the mound (& the silly cross, obviously!)

A little info and a closer photo. Has fairly comprehensive list of sites in the wider area.
Note that the island this (beautiful, from photos) allee couverte is on only displays correctly on Googlemaps when viewed as ‘satellite’ or ‘hybrid’.
Thursday 12 November 2009: Just discovered this allee couverte on a couple of websites. Seems to be actually on an island & have been unable to find out how easy it is to get to (so far...!)
