TheCaptain visited on 19th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 The Lagatjar alignements are an intriguing arrangement of stones, mostly consisting of large white quartz blocks on open common land, just to the east of the fishing town of Camaret. There are probably over a hundred stones, mostly aligned into three lines, but there are some outliers as well.
The longest line is over 200 metres in length and has an orientation of 037°. From this line are two rows of larger blocks, heading off at right angles on bearing 317° for the northern row, which is approximately straight and 60 metres in length. The southern row is about 50 metres away, and heads off at 315°, but curves towards the west away from the baseline. Perhaps these two rows once joined up to form a horseshoe ?
South of the main line are three large grey stones, a single one at the west and a pair to the east. These three stones are aligned with each other. There are lots of orchids flowering here, which seems a bit late in the year.
