Re: Toul an Urz allée couverte by Anonymous on Wednesday, 28 December 2016
According to a French visit in the 1800's. 'Toul an Urz' means 'Trou de l'oracle' ; Hole of the Oracle' ; and not 'Hole of the Bear'. Why 'hole' I can't imagine. Did you wander into the forest adjacent? There are very obvious signs of a prehistoric village there - it would appear to cover the whole of the bulge in the forest almost touching the Dolmen/allée couverte.
