Log Text: With better info than in 2005, I managed to find this in June 2016, not far off the lane and at the edge of a bank. I was still unsure whether this was a single menhir, or the recorded alignment of one standing and 3 fallen stones in a bank. I saw no other stones of the alignment, no doubt that if they are here, they are somewhere overgrown in this bank. But we had better be getting on.

Log Text: With better info than in 2005, I managed to find this menhir this time, not far off the lane and at the edge of a bank. I saw no other stones of the alignment, perhaps they are here but overgrown, or maybe this is just a solitary menhir. But we had better be getting on.

Menhir du Roz Perez submitted by Jimwithnoname on 13th Jul 2011. I've been on the bridge that spans two worlds. I came across this menhir whilst looking for another stone of 8mtrs, which I eventually discovered in a family front garden behind some trees.
This stone appeared to be original as the workmen had positioned huge 4' square boulders around it to protect it.
The road was blocked, I could go no further. The image was quite striking and one not be missed. A number plate type sign had been drilled to the menhir saying 'RESPECT' but was at the wron...

Log Text: Spent some time searching for this and other menhirs in the area, but could not find this one. However, using a combination of maps, satellite views and my own hunting, I am pretty sure I can now locate this menhir at N48.3527, W 3.8009. The shadow on Flash Earth gives it away. Looking closely, are there a few other fallen menhirs nearby? Could this once have been a row? Unless anyone can find better information, I think a new sitepage should be made for this with the name Roz Perez (the name of the quarry on ign maps). One for later!

Menhir de Coat Mocoun (sud) submitted by TheCaptain on 26th Jul 2016. Spent some time looking for various menhirs here while travelling through the area. To the south of the road junction I followed a pathway through some newly cut scrubland which was until revently forest, heading towards the noise of the quarry. The path eventually entered into some wooded land, with many boulders laying around, the remnants of quarrying.
Then I saw something. Not an 8m tall menhir, but a 4 metre tall stone standing amongst noulders. I am pretty convinved that this stone...

Log Text: Spent some time looking for various menhirs one morning in June 2016 near to Coatmocun, while travelling through the area (by chance, followings signs south from Morlaix, not on the main road). Following a pathway through some newly cut scrubland which was until recently forest, heading towards the noise of the quarry, the path eventually entered into some wooded land, with many boulders laying around, the remnants of quarrying. I didn't find an 8m tall menhir, but DID find a 4 metre tall stone standing amongst quarrying remains at N48.3604, W3.8011 which matches well to Menhir de Coatmocun (sud) from t4t35. http://www.t4t35.fr/Megalithes/AfficheSite.aspx?NumSite=31767 very well. I am pretty convinced that this stone was once a menhir, see the pictures and make your own mind up.

Log Text: Having a look round the area for several menhirs, I had previously identified a couple of large promising looking rocks from the various satellite views. I only got to look at one of these directly due to hedges etc, but I felt pretty sure it was not a fallen menhir, but just a natural outcropping of the local granite, of which there is plenty around here. I didn't even bother to take a photo! (wish I had now).

Verulamium Museum submitted by Thorgrim on 9th Nov 2005. The Verulamium Museum is built in the style of Ancient Rome. It contains a wonderful collection of objects very well presented. Striking tableux bring the archaeology to life, but the stars of the museum are the gigantic mosaic floors. Go there - it's a must! Full details of contents, opening times and admission charges can be seen here

Log Text: Stop off to have a look at the Verulamium roman city remains, when on my way back from Essex. I haven't been here since primary school, and I still remember the Roman fort I made out of cardboard. What an excellent museum, with some tremendous finds and displays. Genuine roman wall paintings and superb mosaics incorporated into the displays.

Log Text: Much of the city walls can be traced, and now surround the park. I didn't have time to see much of these, but I did go to look at the main remaining stone section, which somehow survived demolition. Most of the Abbey was built using the roman wall and city stone, brick and tile.

Domaine de Castillon submitted by theCaptain on 30th Dec 2013. View across the swollen river to the northern end of the hill where the C17th Chateau has been built on top of the ancient site.
It was such horrible wet weather, I wasn't going to explore away from the road.

Log Text: Stopped off for a quick look while travelling home after Christmas at my sisters. The weather was foul and everything completely sodden, so didn't spend any time exploring other than driving around the local roads. One to come back to sometime, for a better look for some of the ramparts, and a look round the chateau gardens.
Allée Couverte de Pont-Perrin
Trip No.212 Entry No.12 Date Added: 18th Aug 2026
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35))
Visited: Couldn't find on 11th Oct 2012
Log Text: Supposedly, two stones still stand amongst many other blocks, over an area of 10m by 6m, the remains of an allée couverte. The largest of the stones is up to 4 metres in length. I had a quick look around here, 11 Oct 2012, but did not satisfy myself that I had found the remnants of an allée couverte. I could get no nearer to the stones seen on the Google streetview, but I think that they are probably natural outcropping. I asked a chap taking water samples from the ponds, but he knew of no megalithic remains here, and suggested I looked at Dol! I also asked an old gent out in his garden up the hill to the east, but he said he couldn't help at all, although I am unsure he understood what I was asking. But a possibility is up at the entrance to the sports ground near to the cemetary at Trans-la-Foret, where an old looking granite stone is standing by the entrance. Not the remains of the allée couverte, but perhaps a new use for one of the stones?

Log Text: Menhir of local granite, standing 1.8 metres tall, with its large faces orientated east - west. It stands in a field to the east of the D91 a mile or so to the south of the village of Vieux-Viel. Easily found and can be seen from the road, behind a ruined house. A bit like busses, this menhir has been ignored by the megalithic portal's stonehunters for many years, and then 2 come along in 2 days!

Roche Buquet submitted by thereddragon on 9th Oct 2012. Site in Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35) France
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: La Roche Buquet is an obelisk shaped granite stone standing 1.7 metres high with its large sides facing east - west. The stone has several grooves on it where it has been tried to break it up, and was probably once a lot larger. A second stone is laying prone nearby. It is situated in the Marais du Mesnil, a bit to the southwest of L'Ile St Samson and can easily be reached from a trackway into the marais from Le Mesnil lane. Wellies are almost certainly a necessity! Local legend has it that the day this stone finally disappears into the marais, the world will end.

Pierre du Pôt submitted by theCaptain on 2nd Jan 2014. I found this remarkably easily, travelling thriugh Ussy past the school, and I pulled off the road into a large parking area to look at the village map on the street nearby. Lo and behold, I had pulled into the sports centre, and the stone was standing there right in front of the car!

Menhir de la Grurie submitted by theCaptain on 3rd Jan 2014. This stone can be found in a field to the west of the village of Villiers Canivet, to the south of the big water tower between here and the village of Ussy.
A strange rectangular section stone, is it a fallen (but on edge) menhir, or perhaps a backstone or fallen capstone from a burial chamber?

Log Text: This stone can be found in a field to the west of the village of Villiers Canivet, to the south of the big water tower between here and the village of Ussy. At the time of my visit, I was unable to get right to the stone because of crops growing, and also the sodden nature of the soil. A strange rectangular section stone, is it a fallen (but on edge) menhir, or perhaps a backstone or fallen capstone from a burial chamber? I can find nothn gbout this stone, which I had no knowledge of a year or so ago.
