TheCaptain saw from a distance on 23rd Apr 2005 North of the village of Ernes several hundred metres up a farm track from the hamlet of Vey d’Ifs on the top of the ridge this large chambered tumulus can be seen just within a field growing crops so I did not enter.
Several hundred metres up a farm track from the hamlet of Vey d’Ifs on the top of the ridge, this large chambered tumulus can be seen just within a field growing crops.
I think that there are remains of several more tumuli here, some of which may have been recently excavated.
