Log Text: Not That easy to find as the stones were covered in ivy and brambles. Managed to clear some of the ivy from some of the stones but would really need to go better equipped to clear away the brambles.

Log Text: Another ancient place. Well worth a visit. Difficult to determine where one tomb ends and the next begins and a view of the whole site is just not possible.
Peyre d'Ermale

Peyre d'Ermale submitted by thecaptain on 7th Dec 2005. Peyre d'Ermale.
I had no idea what this is meant to be and indeed no idea whether this is the proper megalithic remains! Later I find out that this is indeed the remains of a megalithic burial chamber (dolmen a bit incorrect perhaps). And that there is also a menhir nearby.

Peyrefitte
Date Added: 1st Oct 2018

Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2018
Peyrefitte submitted by thecaptain on 15th Jan 2006. Large menhir near to the Dordogne river in the commune of St-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens in Gironde.
This is said to be the largest standing stone in southwest France, (but not the tallest) and it is 5.2 metres tall, 3 metres wide and less than a metre thick, with the bottom part of it chipped away to make the distinctive shape.

Pierre des Quatre Curés
Date Added: 16th Oct 2018
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Auvergne:Puy-de-Dôme (63))
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2016
Pierre des Quatre Curés submitted by thecaptain on 21st Sep 2006. On the map this stone looks spectacularly positioned overlooking the Sancy mountains one way, and the valley of the river Dordogne the other.
In practice, it really only overlooks the fields around it, although there is a nice view of the Sancy Massif, the highest point of the Massif Central.

Pierre Levée de Soullans submitted by TheCaptain on 8th Jun 2011. In a little forest clearing beside the busy D. 69 road to the south of Challons, I found this stone because of the restaurant of the same name.

Log Text: Don't stop on the D69. The wood is enclosed on the other 3 sides by small roads all of which have signs pointing to the Menhir. It is also a pleasant wood to walk through along the path. Once you get there it certainly is an impressive stone.
Pierre Plantée (Lisle)
Date Added: 30th Sep 2018
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Aquitaine:Dordogne (24))
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2018
Pierre Plantée (Lisle) submitted by theCaptain on 17th Jan 2011. As I was driving south along the D78 road coming into Lisle, I saw a sign saying Pierre Plantée and there was a stone about a metre high stood just by the roadside.
I cant be sure whether this is the actual Pierre Plantée referred to or indeed whether it is ancient but it isn’t new !

Pierres Closes de Charas 1 submitted by thecaptain on 18th Jan 2006. This odd burial chamber can be found to the northwest of the historic Naval town of Rochefort, amongst the marshes of the Charente river estuary.
It consists of an oval shaped chamber which has been carved out of a big solid block of rock, on top of which is a limestone capstone.

Log Text: Only a short walk to this tomb as our sat nav took us down a dusty track and then we only had to walk across a bridge and a field to see it. We did not get to the other one as it was late and we assumed that it was in the middle of a field of sweetcorn being harvested.

Map shows more round barrows to be amongst the trees and are not visible. These two Round Barrows appear to be connected by a low tunnel.
