TheCaptain visited on 11th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 The tombettes vary in size from about 10 metres in diameter downwards, and most are nowadays fairly flat. Most consist of the outline of some sort of burial chamber, with a surrounding circle of stones. Various chamber types are to be seen, from simple rectangles to full length stone lined passages.
