   Bons Tassilly polissoirs submitted by TheCaptain
Two polissoir stones can be found beside the river which forms the gorge surrounding the Mont Joly promontory site in Calvados
The first one, on the near side of the river is a block of hard stone sticking out of the hillside about 2 metres long and a metre wide. On the top surface of this stone are two large polished bowl areas, and three grooves, made by polishing the hard stone into tools.
The polissoir on the far side of the stream has now been fenced off within private ground and cannot be reached, although can clearly be seen.

Visited Saturday, 23 April 2005. Access 4, Condition 3, Ambience 5.
Two polissoirs can be found beside the river which forms a gorge surrounding the Mont Joly promontory site. Follow signs to the Brèche de Diable, park the car and then walk along the footpath which follows the river up this splendid rocky gorge. After several hundred metres, the path diverges from the river and starts uphill to the left when you come to a fenced area. At this point go down towards the stream, and the two polissoir stones can be found, one on each side of the river. The first one, on the near side of the river is a block of hard stone sticking out of the hillside about 2 metres long and a metre wide. On the top surface of this stone are two large polished bowl areas, and three grooves, made by polishing the hard stone into tools. It is wonderful to sit down on one of the ends of this stone, and imagine polishing away to make an axe or similar. In fact I was very tempted to just sit there and make one !
The polissoir on the far side of the stream has now been fenced off within private ground and cannot be reached, although can clearly be seen. | [ Reply to This ]
