Dolmen field on a hill Moreramani near the village Moreratatti, in Karnataka, India. There are about 100 Dolmens, the older ones built from a wall of stones and a big slab of granite (dayorit) on top, the newer ones built from big slabs, some of them have a soul hole. Some Menhirs still standing, but most on the ground.

To get to the site: cross the river from Hampi to Virurapuragaddi by boat, ask for Raju guest House, there ask for the guides, 1. Timu, 2. Ragu. The site is ±20 km to the west, and only few people know how to get there.

Note: Lots of really interesting photographs of this amazing site in India have come in from Motist.

It is quite surprising to see such similarities with the Wedge tombs in the SW of Ireland including the porthole features, it cannot be coincidence and smacks of travel across whole continents.
It would be interesting to get a date for the earliest of these tombs?

    The dolmens are fascinating Motist, no foundations, just balanced on the bedrock like a house of cards.
