Visbeker Braut
Date Added: 21st Sep 2024
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2024. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Visbeker Braut submitted by Martin_L on 18th Jan 2011. The SW-side narrow side. It is built of 4 enormous kerbstones, all appr. 3m high.
Like at similar sites, the kerbstones at the narrow sides are the largest.
The other short side in the NW is partly destroyed, but two large corner stones are still in place.
These larger kerbstones at the short sides of long barrows are often called “Wächter” (means: “guard” or “guardian”) in Germany.

Einen Hügelgräberfeld submitted by Martin_L on 6th Mar 2012. Two large barrows at cemeterys' NE edge. This is where the info panel is placed. “Einen Hügelgräberfeld” is a remarkable large bronze- and iron age barrow cemetery still consisting of 50 barrows and several long and low wall-like structures, partly adjacent to some of the bronze age barrows and probably contemporary to them. Barrows' sizes vary from 5m to 20m diameter, and 0,3m to 2m height. Situated in woodland, but partly without larger amounts of undergrowth. The site currently is si...

Log Text: This is a small wooded area surrounded by active farming. The wood seems to be more and more overgrown these last few years, but the barrows can still be seen within. A very pleasing location, early on a misty morning.

Grafheuvel Koudhoorn (45858) submitted by Autun on 27th Aug 2022. Occasional trees and tree stumps on the mound, thick woodland surrounding.

Log Text: This mound is seriously beautiful, surrounded by very dense forest with a thick covering of fallen branches and thick undergrowth. A good 200 m from a poor, sandy bridal trail renders this site difficult to access, but worth it, if you are a fan of mounds!

Fordham Puddingstone

Country: England (Essex)
Visited: Yes on 16th Aug 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 5
Fordham Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 on 17th Jul 2016. The stone now at the side entrance to Rams Farm, Fordham, moved from the farmyard in the 1960's. It measures 110 x 50 x 130cm high and is pure sarsen, with no sign of any pebbles at all - so it should never have been part of Rudge's 'Puddingstone Track'.

Log Text: An easily accessed and quite impressive Puddingstone, situated right next to a small road... It is situated outside of the property gates, and can therefore be admired with ease.
Lousberg Flint Quarry

Lousberg Flint Quarry submitted by Harald_Platta on 4th Apr 2016. The Lousberg was a Neolithic flint quarry in Aachen (North Rhine-Westphalia). It was used as a from ca. 3500 - 3000 BC.
The picture shows raw flint stones found at the foot of the Lousberg (Veltmanplatz). They are displayed in the LVR Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn.

Log Text: The Lousberg Flint Quarry is on top of a very steep hill in the centre of the city of Aachen. There is a car park quite near the top. Much of the summit of this feature was apparently used for making flint tools, and there are some excellent information boards (in German) on the summit now, descirbing both the geology and use in both the local and regional setting.
The position on the map is incorrect for the main mining waste piles, which are intermixed with the trees 100 m north west of the Lousberg summit, rather than 200 m south east of the summit, as indicated on the map. The information boards are likewise some 200 m north west of the indicated position.
Within the exposed roots of the trees many apparently worked fragments of flint are exposed amongst the leaves and detritus, and after 10 or 15 minutes walking about it is difficult to not spot at least a few which look like failed attempts to make axes! In any case, the site is beautiful and worth a stroll if visiting this city.

Visbek Opfertisch submitted by Martin_L on 12th Feb 2009. From the NW. The large capstone on the western chamber part still measures 5m x 3m. It was damaged by blasting attempts. Two pieces of it are fallen into the chamber. Original length was 7m. Staff for scaling reasons measuring 1m.

Log Text: A pleasant and quite well visited site in August. The large tree give a pleasing composition. It is interesting to see how out of scale the previous visitors rendered this site in etchings, certainly portraying a more dramatic tableau than that existing in actuality.

Log Text: August seems a poor time to visit, at least in 2021 - the site was totally overgrown with stinging nettles. The information board by the small road was clearly visible, and an excellent bench for taking a break during a cycle, but as you can see from my image, details were very difficult to make out.

Saint-Gonvarc'h menhir submitted by Martin_L on 31st Jan 2009. Menhir Saint-Gonvarc'h (Pierre der Saint Gonvarc'h, Menhir de St-Gonveld) is an impressive 6m tall and slender Menhir. Unfortunately it is situated in a field, so direct access is limited. But even the view from a distance is worth seeing (May 2001).

Dolmen de Poulliot submitted by thecaptain on 25th Jul 2009. Pleasant enough little dolmen sitting in a field of crops about 200 metres from the road.

Log Text: I was lucky at the time of visit. The field had been cleared of crops, and the fine dolmen was clearly visible. From the grass, it seems that currently a way is kept crop free to visit the dolmen, even during the growing period. An impressive site.

Île Melon menhirs submitted by thecaptain on 25th Jul 2009. There are remains of at least two menhirs to the south of the island.
Other larger menhirs were destroyed in the second world war. I would guess an inspection of the rocks on the island would reveal some pieces.

Log Text: These stones are rather pleasant, and likely lined up with the large menhir which was once nearby. The stones are host to a range of interesting fauna, as is the island as a hole, with many contrasting exposure niches providing for a patchwork fauna mosaic.
