Ek (Onsøy)

Date UncertainI had no idea about this stone circle before I went to seek help from a local farmer to find the nearby rock art site at Onsøy when she told me to follow this country road and where to find the stone circle! This one does not appear in any official website or articles. It is located in an open area in the forest and no large trees appear inside the circle.

Chun Quoit

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOne of the most well-preserved of the quoits in Cornwall. A round capstone with a cupmark lies on top of the closed chamber. The mound is 15 metres in diameter and 0.6 metres high. The retaining wall seems to have disappeared except for possibly two stones standing erect on the north edge of the mound

Løkenveien Løken-Nordre

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis medium-sized but pretty round barrow is just next to the main country road 40km south of Oslo. Five large pine trees are growing on the barrow but otherwise the barrow is covered only with short grass, making the details of the barrow easy to see. The barrow is according to kulturminnesøk 18 metres in diameter and 1.5 metres in height and appears to have no damage.

Pors Poulhan allée couverte

Pors Poulhan allée couverte

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn a headland overlooking the Baie D'Audierne, this allée couverte is in a tremendous position. Excavations have shown it to have not only been constructed and used by neolithic flint workers, but also for burials in the bronze age, iron age, and by the Gallo-Romans. In the middle ages it was used as a quarry for building stone, - since then it has been used as a military look out post, and as such was blown up during the second world war. Fortunately it was restored in 1990.
