Le Rocher Myst�rieux

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 19:35:19 GMT

]]>. In the foothills of the Pyr�n�es, 1.5 kms southwest from from the centre of Lourdes. This natural feature (?) is on the mountain summit of "Le B�out" at a height (approx) of 719 metres. The whole mountain is littered with (glacial??) rocks, and the map also shows many mounds and a cairn, none of which, I could pin down, as there wasn't time........

Armenteule menhir

]]>. Deep in the Louron valley, on the western side of the Col de Peyresourde in the high Pyrenees, is the tiny village of Armenteule. In this sleepy little Pyrenean village there is an old church. Inside the churchyard, just beside the back of the church, is a standing stone. Whether the church was built beside the menhir, or the stone was brought here later I do not know.

. Remains of at least three large burial mounds on the hilltop east of Couet-Daban farm.

Fontaine de Trois Seigneurs tumulus

Sun, 22 Jan 2006 23:15:40 GMT

]]>. Remains of a large round mound, probably with a chambered tomb inside, which can be seen near to the more well known Pouey-Majou, a few kilometres to the southwest of Tarbes in southwestern France. There are many of these large mounds around on the hills here, but many more have been destroyed in the last century. I am unsure of a correct name for this mound, if it has one, and have given it this name as it is near to the spring of this name.
