Brunehault
Date Added: 30th Mar 2014
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Belgium
Visited: Yes on 23rd Mar 2014
Brunehault submitted by Alta-Falisa on 23rd Mar 2014. Pierre Brunehault, in October 2012.
Signposted along road N.507 (Rue de Tournai), but the signpost is oriented for people coming from the North.
In the middle of fields (on the photo, you can see a heap of beetroots...), therefore in a very calm area.
Over the years, many people have engraved inscriptions in the stone.

Log Text: The closest you can come by car is the car park (64.263337, -21.117194). From there, a walkway leads you as far as the church and old cemetery.
The path to the valley supposed to be just on top of the dividing line Europe-America (where two tectonic plates pull the Atlantic floor apart) is asphalted at first, then more rocky (and you are not supposed to go that far... Naughty, naughty, naughty, I did !).
Try to come before 09.00 : there are still hardly any tourists and, at 09.00 on the dot, you will attend the raising of the flag.

Mamoa 3 do Rápido
Date Added: 25th Mar 2014
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Portugal (Braga)
Visited: Yes on 6th Mar 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Mamoa 3 do Rápido submitted by Alta-Falisa on 25th Mar 2014. Mamoa III do Rápido consists of one excavated dolmen.
As the dolmen still lies in its original pit, the view is not striking, but the architecture of the monument is rather sophisticated. The chamber has no more capstone ; the corridor leading to it has kept two of them. If not outstanding for photographic purposes, this monument is nevertheless a well-preserved and elaborate construction.
Road description : as you will most probably also visit the Dólmen da Portelagem, I start the ro...

Log Text: Very wisely, the excavations have preserved a maximum of the original cairn, thus allowing visitors to imagine how the tomb was built.
Menir de São Paio de Antas
Date Added: 30th Mar 2014

Country: Portugal (Braga)
Visited: Yes on 24th Mar 2014
Menir de São Paio de Antas submitted by Alta-Falisa on 24th Mar 2014. Menir de Antas, Portugal.
Although the mound on which the menhir stands is surrounded by houses served by a local road, the whole area is residential and quiet. The houses are just 25 m away. The growing vegetation provides an ever changing backdrop to the menhir.
