Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Midi:Tarn (81))
Visited: Yes on 16th Sep 2005. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
Trou-de-l'Avent menhir submitted by thecaptain on 8th Jun 2009. In this pleasant little square are several other notable features, such as the 14th century laundry basins, and the 16th century Fontaine des Pisseurs, which was made to glorify the Dieuretic effect of the local waters !

Log Text: Once standing about 4 metres tall near to the Pierre Plantée de Lacaune, this menhir was broken up for use in building a mill and farm. The top 1.5 metres has now been rescued and installed in the Place de Griffoul in Lacaune town centre, just 100 metres behind the tourist office.
What a menhir this once would have been. In this pleasant little square are several other notable features, such as the 14th century laundry basins, and the 16th century Fontaine des Pisseurs, which was made to glorify the Dieuretic effect of the local waters !
Tronval Dolmen

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Tronval dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 8th Dec 2006. Southwest of Plobannalec, the Tronval dolmens are found just a hundred metres walk from the Quélarn dolmens.
They look to be the remains of what appears to be a pair of chambers, just a few metres apart.

Log Text: The Tronval dolmen is found just a hundred metres walk from the Quélarn dolmens parking area, on the opposite side of the road. There are the remains of what appears to be another pair of chambers, this time only a few metres apart. The southwestern one is completely collapsed, while the northwestern has a fallen capstone resting on two sideslabs, with perhaps an entrance passage, and two slabs jutting out sideways. Perhaps these are facing slabs to the front of the cairn ? The ruined chamber also has these side slabs which seem to be a feature round here.
I later found out that these are remains of a type of monument only found in this coastal part of southwest Brittany, and are compartmented dolmens, which had chambers with internal compartment slabs to break up the chamber into sections.
Trois-Tables-en-Place
Trip No.203 Entry No.563 Date Added: 3rd Jun 2020
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Bretagne:Côtes-D'Armor (22))
Visited: Yes on 24th Jun 2005. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 2
Trois-Tables-en-Place submitted by theCaptain on 26th Jun 2012. What a lovely situation this is in, out in the sea amongst all these rocks and islets. The island itself is now a nature reserve. This is a smashing place, and well worth the effort of a visit.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The Trois-Tables-en-Place is a bit of a monster allée couverte, on the little island of Ile-Milliau which is reachable by foot only an hour or so each side of low tide. It is situated on a low flat spot just behind the farm buildings, in pretty much the middle of the island.
It has three capstones still on top of the upright supports, hence it's name, and there is at least another one fallen at the eastern end. It is about 14 metres long by 2 metres wide, and more than 2 metres high, with more than enough room to comfortably stand up inside.
What a lovely situation this is in, out in the sea amongst all these rocks and islets. The island itself is now a nature reserve and the previous buildings are uninhabited. This is a smashing place, and well worth the effort of a visit. There are rabbits hopping around everywhere, but a pity it has started to rain.

Log Text: Nearby to the east of the tumulus des Mousseaux are the remains of two more burial mounds of which remains can be seen in various gardens in the vicinity. The large tumulus du Moulin du Motte is these days hardly visible behind a large garden wall and some new holiday homes but a bit further to the west down the lane some large stones can be clearly seen in a garden. These are the remains of the Trois Squelettes tombs three chambers which were once covered by a single large mound.

Trois Pierres de Chabusse submitted by TheCaptain on 4th May 2010. Trois Pierres de Chabusse are three menhirs in a row.
All of the menhirs are over 2 metres in height, and the spacing is 5 metres and 28 metres between them.

Log Text: About a kilometre along the ridgetop path running southwest from the La Fage B menhirs, can be found three menhirs in a row, and there were probably once more here. All of the menhirs are over 2 metres in height, and the spacing is 5 metres and 28 metres between them.
It is time to scuttle off now, as there are big black clouds and a cold wind blowing over everything, and there is thunder in the air. I got back to the van just in time, as a massive storm has been following me up the valley, with torrential rain down lower. Might avoid the rain up on top of the hills, but I doubt it..... Here it comes now.

Trippet Stones submitted by thecaptain on 25th Oct 2008. Despite the fact that I have visited the Trippet Stones many times over the years, this is the first time I have been able to take some decent pictures of the stones in the lovely golden setting sunshine.

Log Text: Heading down to Padstow, I make a stop at the Trippet Stones. It is nice to see that they now seem a lot tidier and more looked after than my last few visits, where thay were getting all chewed up with 4wd vehicle tracks all over the top of them.

Could this be the remains of the Dolmen de Trigalle, reported to have been destroyed in the early 1800s ?

Trevilley Cross submitted by cazzyjane on 8th Jan 2014. Trevilley wayside cross, Sennen. The cross head has a Latin cross in relief with an incised figure of Christ on it.

Log Text: After leaving Nanjizal, I head back up and inland, past several ancient crosses before I can stop for a well earned pint at the First and Last. I miss Trevilley Cross due to being on the wrong side of the very overgrown wall / hedge.

Trevilley Cliff Tumuli submitted by Bladup on 31st Oct 2020. Trevilley Cliff kerb cairn [SW 34682417], On the Right you can see the sign drilled into the exposed Cist sidestone, This is a disgrace, Also a disgrace is the fact the coast path still cuts though the Cairn when a simple bypass is all that it needs, The kerb is clearly visible on the left

Log Text: Walk around the coast path from Sennen to Nanjizal and back. From the crowds at Lands End, past the old farm and onwards, there are lots of choughs on the clifftops, and the scenery is fantastic. Keep heading round and get to Pordenack Point with the remains of several barrows, some with kerbstones.

Treveglos, Zennor submitted by maengurta on 2nd Jul 2007. Stone row in Zennor aligned on Sperris hill.
Access by footpath leading to giants rock in the field immediately after the end of the path. Look for the southern terminal stone now serving as a gatepost 8.5ft high. The two other remaining stones stand in the next field to the north, one in a field boundary wall.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: I found the large gatepost in the corner of the field, but nothing obvious nearby. The fields and walls here are full of large stones, and what is a standing stone, and what is a natural feature is very hard to tell. Not helped by a lot of growth around the field boundaries. I'm certainly not convinced of a row. Perhaps I was looking in all the wrong fields
