Please note the third stone under the excarnation slab was still extant at that time. My local guide told me it was broken in 1969. |

(2004-10-20) | Thanks for this Alex! I'd been wondering how the circle really used to look. Do you know if the dolmen was original, or if it had been re-erected too? It looks too neat somehow... | Andy B

(2006-08-03) | What a superb historical document. You never know, perhaps one day our pics may give such an insight. | thecaptain
(2006-08-04) | I love seeing these old pictures. Its amazing how much some of these places have changed in less than a hundred years, after surviving for thousands beforehand. So I am sure our pictures will be just as interesting to others in the future as these are to us now. I always particularly like the people in them. It would be good if we could do recreations of these old pictures, with the same view and similarly posed contributors ! | ladydi45
(2009-10-03) | What a great picture. It's fascinating to see how the site has changed in only 100 years. What a shame we can't dig up pictures from a few thousand years ago!! |
