Log Text: Back to the car, and this stone can be seen in front of the wall on the skyline to the northwest, beyond the first few fields. I decide I can go and get a closer look at it by driving up to the north and then walking down the little lane. There are two stones in the field by the wall here, the larger stone that I could see before, and also a smaller one.

Log Text: Driving up to Penrith on the day of the Queen's funeral, the M5 and M6 nicely free of traffic, I turn off at Shap for a look at some of the Shap Avenue stones. A quick look at Kemp Howe stone circle, but the field is closed off with livestock inside, so I satisfy myself with a look over the gate.

Log Text: Walking from Lamorna Cove over the top to Mousehole, then back along the coastpath, there are many stones to be found in the fields near Lamorna. It’s a lovely walk up the Lamorna valley to the old mill, then head up into the fields towards Kemyel farm. The first stone, Kemyel A, is a nice 6 footer centrally in the field, so I go for a close look.

Log Text: Now to look for Kemyel B. I can find nothing at the place its marked on my map, perhaps its hidden in the hedge or a bit of rough ground. Still finding nothing, I decide to carry on along the track behind the farm, where I find a nice big stone acting as a gatepost, so assume this is it. Now I am back looking at the portal, and I see several pictures of this stone telling me that it is not Kemyel B. However, it will have to do me as I need to get on.

Log Text: Big walk round the Botallack mines area, and despite being very tired when I get back to Botallack, I decide to go further south to have a look for this cairn circle. I'm still not convinced of its authenticity amoungst the mining ruins, but it’s a lovely spot. I get to sit and watch a nest of choughs up on top of one of the old engine houses, must be parents with about 4 offspring up there.

Log Text: This is a tall thin menhir sculpted into a cross, mounted on a nice flower filled pedestal on the village green at Keralio. The stone is probably about 2.5 metres tall, and obviously well looked after.

Log Text: Just to the north of the village of Huelgoat, well known for its lake and strange shaped rocks, is this lovely menhir which is signposted from the road to Berrien, and is easy to find. Its about 5 metres tall, and a lovely shape, set in a little grassy area with some nicely shaded picnic tables. At some time in the past local quarrymen have engraved little pictures onto it. There is a house and several animals, plus a few other shapes and things. The animals are quite jolly.

Log Text: This is a nice shaped menhir, just under 4 metres tall, standing in a little clearing in an area of many natural granite rocks. It is just beside the road and has a parking place and signpost, from which it is about a 50 metre walk. Its got some lovely shade for this very hot and sunny afternoon. It is only a few hundred metres from the large Kermarquer menhir.

Log Text: This nice pointed deltoid menhir must be over 5 metres in height, and is easily found just beside the D.778 road south of St Jean-Brévelay by the farm of the same name. It seems a strange position to me, on a hillside. It has a chestnut tree growing beside it, and from many angles it looks like the stone is the trunk of the tree.

Kerbalanec Allée Couverte

Site Type: Passage Grave Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))

Log Text: This allée couverte is easy enough to find to the north of the Kerbalannec farm buildings a couple of hundred metres along a track. The allée couverte makes up part of the field wall, and this has perhaps helped in its preservation.

The chamber is about 12 metres in length, over 2 metres wide and high enough to stand up in, facing south of southeast at 155°. The northwest end is amazingly complete, but the southeast end has suffered some damage, while five of the probable six capstones survive in place. The field to the south is on a much higher level than the field to the north, and on this side the stone slabs of a peristalith have survived, as has the mound. This is a nice monument to visit.

Log Text: Found in amongst the houses of St-Pierre-Quiberon, this is nowadays a large semi circle of about 40 contiguous stones, average height about 1.8 metres. It is however just a small part of the remains of what was perhaps once an egg shaped enclosure, with a diameters of about 95 by 75 metres.

It is to be found just off the main road along the peninsular, and is nowadays surrounding a tennis court in a very quiet little cul-de-sac.

Log Text: This is what looks like a little allée-couverte, and is actually signposted and with a little clearing around it for visits. It is to be found just behind the Moulin a Fée, a prototype wind generator built inside an old windmill, and looking just like an old windmill except with a modern whirring sound rather than the old style noises which would be expected.

The chamber is about 6 metres long by 1 metre wide, and faces southeast at 125°. There are 4 capstones in place, sitting on top of many sidestones. Closer inspection shows it to have an oval chamber, 2.5 m by 2.0 m at the end of a curving entrance corridor. Is it a bad restoration job, or is it some intermediate stage between a dolmen a couloir and an allée-couverte ?

I was expecting to find two megalithic burial monuments here, but look as much as i could, I couldn't find another one, which is probably in the undergrowth in or around a wheatfield.

Log Text: At low tide, from the beach at Kerbourgnec, can be seen the remains of these alignements. More than a dozen rows of stones can be seen, stretching for about 400 metres into the sea. These stones are associated to a cromlech (of which a few of the stones can be seen) and tumulus.

Log Text: Fantastic. This is getting a bit eroded away now, and I think it needs some better protection from all the visitors it gets. The monument consists of a 25 metre diameter round cairn, completely enclosing a wonderful dolmen chamber which is about 3 metres by 2.5 metres, and 2.3 metres high, which is entered via a passageway which opens up from the east. The chamber is covered by a single large capstone, which does not rest directly on top of the sideslabs, but is raised above them by corbelled smaller stones, making it look like it is floating above the chamber. There are carvings on several side stones with chequerboard patterns, and a large carving of an axe on the roof.

On top of the mound is a menhir, and around the outside of the mound is a circle of stones, about 5 metres extra distance away from the mound, of which less than half now exist. A bit further away from the entrance is another menhir, about 1.5 metres tall.

This must be just about the most complete dolmenic chamber there is to be seen in the world today, and is a fantastic place to visit when quiet. It is €1 entry fee, payable into an honesty box in quiet times at the entrance shelter by the pizzeria. I met the Brazilian ladies again here, and also a retired Irish couple who were travelling for a few months in their camper van.

Log Text: This nice little dolmen stands proud at the edge of its field, well hidden behind a big hedge beside the D718 road a few kilometres to the north of Locmariaquer. Look carefully, and there is a pathway through the hedge and wooded area. The dolmen is about 2.5 by 2 metres, and the single capstone sits on top of 6 support stones.
