Menhir dit Pierre Saint-Julien

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA 3.5 metre tall menhir, stood outside the main entrance to St Julien Cathedral, Le Mans, in the department of Sarthe. A truly lovely stone, made from a very heavily stratified, and vividly coloured rock. From certain angles, and in the right light, it looks for all the world to be a man dressed in hooded cloak stood outside the entrance of this sacred place.

Horse Rock Art Panels

Rock ArtAn easily accessible rock petroglyph site next to a wooden corral on Route 162, about 0.2 miles east of Bluff UT town center. The rock art, on a large boulder face at the end of the parking area, is a melange of horse images as well as elk and probably deer. All are in good condition.The horse images are from the historic period, as domesticated horses were not introduced until the Spanish arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries CE. There are also a few scattered abstract images that could be prehistoric.

The barrow had about 60 kerbstones, 53 of them are still there. All of these kerbstones have fallen and are out of place, this mass of de-arranged stones give the tomb a bit of a weird look.

White Moor Stone

Neolithic and Bronze Age150 metres southeast of White Moor Stone circle stands this stone, which is more than 5 feet in height, and has been adapted as a parish boundary stone, with its parish marks cut into it. This stone is almost certainly much older than just a boundary stone, and is likely to be associated in some way with the circle.

Cannon Ball Mesa Pueblo Ruins

Submitted by stonetracker on Saturday, 10 May 2025   (290 reads)

Cannon Ball Mesa Pueblo Ruins

Pre-ColumbianCannon Ball Mesa is an extensive area that stretches along County Rd G west of Cortez CO to nearly the Utah border. There are ruins of small Ancestral Pueblo structures tucked in many places along this land form. The ruins are very small and typically facing south under very large boulders or overhangs. I was able to find 4 or 5 different sites but I'm sure there are more.
