TheCaptain visited on 23rd Apr 2005 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 1 Access: 5 Despite all records stating that this large round tumulus with 8 passage graves is no longer there the remains are quite easy to find within the village. It remains today as a green grassy area within a housing estate surrounded by roads called something like Rue la Tumulus and Rue La Hoguette. There is a large diameter mound with a slight hollow in the middle and remains of some form of signpost.

La Hoguette Tumulus, Fontenay-le Marmion, Calvados, N 49.0965, W 00.3543 by gps
Visited Saturday, 23 April 2005. Access 5, Condition 1, Ambience 1.

Despite all records I could find stating that this large round tumulus with 8 passage graves is no longer there, the remains are quite easy to find within the village. It remains today as a green grassy area within a housing estate, surrounded by roads called something like Rue la Tumulus and Rue La Hoguette. There is a large diameter mound with a slight hollow in the middle, and remains of some form of signpost.
