The Sept Bonnettes is a Neolithic tumulus, crowned by a rare circle of standing stones, which has puzzled many, for no astronomy is detectable,
it is not a 'druidic' cromlech, as some suppose.
Barrows and tumuli were regarded as sacred, and used as sites for judicial courts, primarily of the presence of the spirits of the ancestors which association affirms the seriousness of such occasions. Elsewhere some barrows have flat tops, serving judicial courts in the open air and from which medieval rulers issued directions and proclamations.
The standing stones on the Sept Bonnetes are all carved and served as seating for the deliberations of the judicial court. A close parallel is the Zentgericht, at Geisa, in Wartburg, Thuringen-Rhon, Germany, where Neolithic stone axes were unearthed, there lived La Tene Celts, Germani, and Franks, it was first mentioned in chronicles at the year 817. The Zentgericht on a 984 ft high hill is an open air site from the 11th century. A number of carved basalt pillars served as seating for the judicial court.
The principle is the same, only the laws would have differed, which if required could be discussed and amended at the sacred place, the barrow. In 45 years I have discovered hundreds of judicial stones throughout Europe, including prehistoric stones used by medieval courts and published a book about the topic.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
