aolson visited on 2nd Feb 2019 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 4 The most impressive megalithic site I have visited. It was amazing to walk along the top of the hill and watch a seemingly endless number of menhirs, stone circles, and rows appear out of the fog.
Average ratings for this site from all visit loggers: Condition: 4 Ambience: 4.5 Access: 3.5
The whole setting gives the impression of a "Megalithic Disneyland"
