Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Mexico (Campeche)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2017
Xpuhil submitted by davidmorgan on 9th Feb 2009. Structure I - also known as the Building of the Three Towers. It constitutes an atypical example of the Rio Bec style due to the presence of the third, or central, tower. It has a maximum height of 18m and its centre line runs more than 53m along a perfect north-south alignment.
From the site information board. (It looks a few degrees off on Google Earth).

Visited: Yes
The Gallarus Oratory submitted by swatson on 22nd Jul 2004. History Gallery
The enigmatic Gallarus Oratory on the Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry, Ireland. The date of it's construction is a matter for debate: some scholars put it around 600AD and others as late as 1200AD. Not pre-historic, but interesting.
