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.
