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.

Situated in a small wood just outside of Le Bono there are several burial mounds, including the large Tumulus Le Rocher, and several small stone circles which are remains of iron age tumuli, known as Tombelles (or tombettes).

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.
