Tumulus La Pointe (Benon)
Tumulus La Pointe (Benon) submitted by dt44 : La Pointe tumulus at the south of a road from La Laigne to Benon (Vote or comment on this photo)
La pointe is a site with two tumuli, located each side of the road from La Laigne to Benon.

The first is at the south of the road, at only 10 meters.
It is situated on a private land. We can't access it.

The second is at 100 meters at the north of the road. We can access by a little path.

They are quite destroyed and it is difficult to recognize.
