Tumulus des Bignes, Habloville, Orne, N 48.8061, W 00.1643
Visited Monday, 2nd May 2005. Access 4, Condition 2, Ambience 3.
There are the remains of two burial mounds here, the second one being about 50 metres to the southeast of the Dolmen des Bignes. The mound is much less disturbed than its neighbour, but it has been dug into from its western side, although there are no signs of any stones forming a chamber. Perhaps its still all in place underneath the mound ? The remains of the mound are about 3 metres high, and again it has a diameter of about 15 metres.
The ambience of these burial mounds is spoiled by it obviously used as a place where the local youth (or others) go to have a drink, leaving all their detritus behind. There are broken bottles and other rubbish all over the place.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
