(2011-01-26) | So i assume it was not possible to get closer to this site unfortunately? I am too curious now having seen this photo. It looks quite interesting (not only for ants ;) | theCaptain
(2011-01-26) | To be honest Martin, I no longer have any recollection of this site, even after reading my original notes, and looking at both the detail maps on geoportail and the google maps satellite views. I have three photographs from slightly different positions, of which this is by ar the best!
This was not a good day (21 May 2005). I have notes for visiting 14 sites that day, of which I found only 5, so in many ways this was a success! | Martin L
(2011-01-26) | Thanks for reply Martyn. I guess this photo makes any prehistory enthusiast want to enter the bushes and study the site. Even largely hidden it looks quite promising. | theCaptain
(2011-01-26) | this is (was) just so typical of so many French megaliths, unknown, uncared for, unloved. This is many ways was why I set out on my mission to make them more well known, by getting entries for them on the megalithic portal, so people would know of their existance. Many are still being destroyed on a regular basis. Then I took it further to trying to visit them and take pictures. In this way I hoped that they might become more known and cared for.
I have to say, that efforts of people like Bruno Marc, the megalithic portal and many others are indeed making this happen. I see more and more appear regularly in the French ign maps, and on the internet as features of villages. However, the battle is not won, but ongoing. |
