La Sulette dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 13th Dec 2005. This is a pleasant find, as it has been fully excavated and restored in 1989 to 1991, and is now found completely within its mound, a kilometre or so to the northwest of St Hilaire-la-Foret.

Log Text: It is difficult to be sure as the coordinates given here are for a location in a garden in the village of Breuil. The owner of the property knew nothing about a dolmen but other locals seemed to think that there was one down a track a little way from the village. We investigated and found two separate piles of huge stones either both or neither of which I am prepared to believe is a dolmen. I include pictures of both and their coordinates a short distance apart along the same track.

Log Text: Failed to find this dolmen but the point on the road closest to these coordinates where the sat nav told us we had reached our destination was a large stone the top of which had been broken off to reveal an amonite. Could this be a menhir?
Les Pierres Jumelles

Les Pierres Jumelles submitted by theCaptain on 24th Jan 2011. The Pierres Jumelles, or twin stones, are both about 4 metres high, but that is where the similarity between them ends.
One of the stones is a rounded block of lovely pink granite, while the other is a tall pointed grey stone.

Lou Couraus Cromlechs submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Dec 2005. After a long wait, the clouds eventually rose a bit.
Then the cattle arrived, and I had this view south along the Ossau valley.
It was a wonderful moment.

Log Text: The rain had eased a little after our visit to the dolmen near Buzy so we decided to take the track up to these stone circles. What a magical place even with rain and poor visibility the hike was worth the trouble.

Log Text: There is a sign by the road informing you of the presence of this menhir but no indication as to where it is. The trackway to it really does not exist any more. So just park the car and delve into the wood by the stream and follow the path until the stone is found.

Log Text: If you put these coordinates into google maps it looks as if you can drive almost up to the menhir. In fact the last kilometer is a grassy path which descends quickly via a hairpin to run along the river. At the end of the path is a weir and a house on the other side which I believe is the site of an old watermill. The road runs steeply up from the house on the other side of the river so this could be an ancient crossing point. The path opens up into a large meadow enclosed by the bend in the river at this point. The menhir stands in the meadow backed by a rock face which drops into the far side of the river. The 3.5 meter menhir appears pointed on one side and with a wide flat top on the other.

Log Text: It is right on the edge of a small wood surrounded by vines. You either have to approach through a vineyard from the North of the stone or along tracks from the South between vineyards. It is not a very big stone but it is covered on the wood side with sets of parallel lines. Rock Art?

Log Text: This is our second visit to this site. Earlier in the year this time and much less undergrowth so we were able to see a second Menir in the wood and some other large stones which perhaps are the site of a burial.
