Stone circle / Cromlech on the islands of Chausey, in the sea to the west of the coast of Normandy.

One for the truly dedicated stone circle hunter. This circle is in a tidal zone, and gets completely covered by every tide. It consists of an 11.7 to 13.4 metre diameter circle of more than 40 granite blocks, sized between 1.5 and 2 metres, mostly now fallen.

Circle can be seen on the latest Bing and Google satellite images.

Some interesting pictures of this maritime stone circle can be seen here, along with much further information on this, and some other megalithic sites on Les Iles Chausey.
