TheCaptain saw from a distance on 3rd Jun 2005 To the north of the Couvoisier town of Jarnac, near the village of Métairies is marked a tumulus. I thought I'd found a massive tumulus in about the right place in amongst some trees, but a closer inspection didn’t show there to be an obvious tumulus there. It was getting late, so i didnt look too much harder, as its time to stop for the day.
I thought I found a massive tumulus in about the right place in amongst some trees, but couldn't be sure this was the right thing.
