You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a dolmen, and it is locally listed as such, but Burl sets you right. These stones were originally a passage grave with an earth mound on top

You can still walk among the stones at Kerzerho (in 2002 at east) which are near Carnac but not quite so busy. Head up the D781 to Erdeven. You can park nearby, and from there you can also take the path to the large stones of the Table du Sacrifice

Le Petit Ménec
Date Added: 22nd Jun 2016
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Yes on 6th Aug 2004
Le Petit Ménec submitted by ermine on 6th Aug 2004. Confusingly, Petit-Menéc is in fact at the opposite, eastern end of the alignments to le Menéc village at the western end. You need to turn left onto the D186 main road after continuing from Kerlescan. After about 250m turn right into a minor road going past a forest, there is a clearing where you can park after about 400m. The menhirs are in the forest on your right, arranged in a gentle curve. You don't get the same clear overview of the alignments since the view is obscured by the trees, bu...

Mutlow Hill
Date Added: 22nd Jun 2016
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cambridgeshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2004
Mutlow Hill submitted by ermine on 4th Oct 2004. Mutlow Hill, on Fleam Dyke. Looking southeast
The Saxons often used round barrows for secondary burials or, as here, as "mutlows". These were meeting places (mut= meet and low is from hlaw - a sacred mound) At the local mutlow, local matters would be discussed, laws proclaimed and disputes settled. Sometimes punishments or executions would take place and many mutlows retained this last feature and became gallows hills.

Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2004
Lady Well, Woolpit submitted by ermine on 4th Oct 2004. The actual site of the well is difficult to find, as it feeds a moat so there is a lot of water about. This brick enclosure is the well itself.

Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 9th Jan 2005
St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas) submitted by ermine on 9th Jan 2005. St Augustine's well in Cerne Abbas is a tranquil place. Walk up Abbey Street and turn into the graveyard - the well is a couple of hundred yards alond the track. The flow is good and was the village's source of drinking water in the last century.
The Abbey nearby is also worth a visit, as well as the nearby Giant hillfigure.

Kersey Puddingstone submitted by ermine on 15th Nov 2005. This is the overview of where this stone is, half buried in the pavement by the footbridge over the watersplash. It is on the left if you are standing on the bank overlooking the watersplash up the hill towards the church.
Don't miss the other stone which is about 200 metres away on the other side of the road erupting from the pavement near some steps
