TheCaptain saw from a distance on 23rd Apr 2005 Despite being signed from the main road and having a Bar le Tumulus nearby the excavated remains of this large round barrow with 12 internal burial chambers is fenced off within a field of rapeseed. What was once a guardian with a key to the site in the nearby house was today a lady who told me that “Il est fermée monsieur”.

La Hoguette submitted by TheCaptain : La Hoguette Tumulus, Fontenay-le Marmion, Calvados. Despite all my records stating that this large round tumulus with 8 passage graves no longer exists, the remains are quite easy to find within the village. It remains today as a green grassy area within a housing estate, surrounded by roads called something like Rue la Tumulus and Rue La Hoguette. There is a large diameter mound with a slight...

Re: Tumulus de la Hogue by TheCaptain on Thursday, 30 December 2010
(User Info | Send a Message)
As I was passing fairly nearby, I stopped off here for another look. The site is still well fenced off, and with no obvious way of being able to gain access - no signs telling where a key can be obtained for example. But an improvement over 6 years ago is that the surrounding fields are not cropped to completely surround the site, with a little area left for access and possibly even parking nearby. Maybe I'll get here in the summer sometime, and who knows, perhaps it'll even be possible to visit.

However, the Google maps aerial view of this tumulus shows it splendidly
