Prehistory of Jethou by Andy B on Sunday, 19 November 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
That Jethou was a place of ancient religious practice is indicated by the presence of the menhirs, the remains of a dolmen, and the Grove in Fairy Wood. Many claim to feel an air of mystery and brooding in this ancient grove.

A few flint implements were found in 1959 and the writer himself un-earthed a small stone axe-head when ploughing on top of the Island in 1967, but there is otherwise as yet, no evidence that pre-historic man had a settlement in Jethou.

There is evidence to show that the Channel Islands were joined to France until about 3,500 B.C. though Jersey was probably not separated until a later date, a supposition supported by the considerable difference in the flora and fauna of Jersey when compared with that of Sark, Guernsey, Herm and Jethou.
