TheCaptain visited on 18th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 On the ridge to the southeast of the Chapelle de Notre Dame de Bon Voyage is a large cairn, which I am lead to believe contains remains of a large compartmented burial chamber. A large cairn can be found, a footpath goes right over the top of it, but nothing else can be seen due to all the gorse and bracken covering everything here. It is possible that there are several more cairns to be found around here.

There are several more cairns to be found around here, many of which can be seen on the various aerial views.
