macd visited on 1st Sep 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Access: 3 Very steep, slippery descent to this site! It can be viewed perfectly well from the top of the very steep slope at Les Landes, but take extreme care if you want to go down. I did - on my a$$. A very unusual site, utilised over a very long period. Perhaps more ritual in nature, though evidence for hearths and at least temporary habitation. Remains of a strange little Gallo-Roman fanum here too. Traces of hearths seen on the path at the top of the slope too.

The Dolerite was mined in the Neolithic and Bronze Age for making polished stone axeheads which have turned up all over western Europe. You can pick up worked Neolithic flints including transverse arrow heads on the nearby excavation spoil heap.
