Despite it not being the best of weather while I was here, and a bit cold and windy, I just sat in the centre and looked at the world around me. It was easy to see all the differently shaped stones dancing around me. I wouldnt be surprised if several of the stones have certain distinct purposes. I could see Bodmin Moor triangles pointing skywards. There were Brodgar slant tops. Made me think of Jack's recent articles.
It is a truly magical place. I was nearing the end of my 6 month break from work, and up until this moment I was not looking forwards to finishing and getting back to "normality" and working life again at all.
But being here a sort of calm came over me, and I started to think that my 5 months of searching out ancient sites through France was coming to a natural end. I didnt need to spend all my time searching out these places just to get the numbers up, I had now seen enough, and this was the sort of Holy Grail, a real, proper French stone circle. Not some wierd shape of small stones. Not a ring from around the edge of a burial mound. But a proper large open circle, and it even has a great big menhir in the middle. Bang in the middle. Nobody knows its purpose, but it can only have been here as some sort of ceremonial place, it could have no other purpose.
There are the remains of a few others in the vicinity too, but unfortunately most are pretty much destroyed. But it makes you think. Was it just up on this bit of plateau they had these circles ? If so why? If not, what has happened to all the others ?
I just loved it.
