La Hoguette submitted by TheCaptain

Multi chambered round burial mound in the village of Fontenay-le Marmion, in Calvados

Despite all records stating that this large round tumulus with 8 passage graves is no longer there, the remains are quite easy to find within the village. It remains today as a green grassy area within a housing estate, surrounded by roads called something like Rue la Tumulus and Rue La Hoguette. There is a large diameter mound with a slight hollow in the middle, and remains of some form of signpost.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Positional co-ordinates taken from a gps reciever
