Log Text: Passing by the Money Pit cairn, had to go for a quick look. I also had a quick look for the southern, top, end of the treble stone row, but didn't follow it down the hill, as we were walking the other direction.
Mondétour polissoirs
Trip No.204 Entry No.290 Date Added: 11th Sep 2020
Site Type: Polissoir
Country: France (Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41))
Visited: Couldn't find on 9th Aug 2005
Log Text: This polissoir is signposted up a trackway from the D.917 roadside to the southwest of Vendome. The trouble is, there are no more signs to be found once away from the road, and the track splits into three ways. A railway cuts the straight on, obvious path, and I could find no stone up there. The other ways all split again and again, and even after crossing under the railway, there is no obvious way. Just how the heck are we meant to find this stone ???
Since my visit, and with the help of geoportail and its 1:25,000 ign maps, I have now been able to identify where this polissoir is, and it is a fair bit to the south of the railway. Obviously, in order to find it, the ign 1:25,000 maps are needed, as the signposts are hopeless. So all I needed was all 1200 1:25,000 maps !!!!! Or geoportail up and running back then. Its odd. The village map in Fréteval say that there are megalithic walks in Marcilly-en-Beauce, but nothing about its own dolmens. The sign at Marcilly-en-Beauce on the other hand, has nothing about itself, yet says that there are dolmens to be seen in Fréteval. Its enough to make me want to give up.
Molieres Dolmen

Molieres dolmen submitted by theCaptain on 9th Dec 2011. This little dolmen can be found at the top of a windblown hill, hiding under a tree in a field, and with a little wellhouse beside it.

Log Text: This little dolmen can be found to the west of the village of Beauvau, which has a little map with the dolmen marked on it. When you find the track to the dolmen (beware, the village detail map is rotated from the full map!) there is a signpost pointing to it. Its then about a 500 metre walk, and at the top of the windblown hill, hiding under a tree in a field, and with a little wellhouse beside it.
The dolmen is pleasant, with a 4m by 2m chamber topped by a nicely eroded and bowled capstone, 5m by 3m. The present entry is probably not the original, but there because the backstone has fallen, which is at the northwest. The original entry was probably to the SE, but its hard to tell. Many other stones lay about, perhaps it was once much bigger.

The chamber is topped by a gorgeously shaped capstone

Log Text: At the top of the hill to the north west of the village of Bélesta can be found the superb but restored remains of this lovely little dolmen-a-couloir. The little chamber is about 2 metres by 1 metre, and the south side is approached by a corridor 5 metres long from the edge of the cairn, made with a few upright slabs and drystone walling. The chamber has an upright slab at each side, and two back slabs, topped by a gorgeously shaped capstone about 3m by 2m. The whole thing is contained within a round cairn, about 9 metres in diameter and 0.5 metres high.
The views from up here are superb, the Fenouillades valley to the north, and the Canigou brooding in amongst the clouds to the south west today. The dolmen is less than a kilometre walk up a good track from a junction of minor roads with plenty of space for parking, and is well worth the effort. It is possible that there are remains of other monuments round the area.

Moel Goedog 4 submitted by TheCaptain on 25th Jan 2018. Stones 3 & 4 are in the field to the northwest of where the road splits from the track to Moel Goedog. The field was full of many inquisitive looking black bullocks that all come to have a look at me, and a huge white bull who keeps himself to himself in the corner of the field.
However, I can see the stones within the field, and get some pictures of them between the bullocks. Both are fairly block shaped stones, one of them with a couple of flat fractured faces, the other much more rotund....

Moel Goedog 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 25th Jan 2018. Stone 2, now I have figured out that the road is not the main old trackway, is a short blocky affair, in the open land to the south of the road almost right at the split of the trackway.

Minions Platform Round Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Oct 2009. The platform cairn marked on OS Maps as "Minions Mound".
In reality it is not the round barrow of that name which gave its name to the village, which was previously known as "Cheesewring Railway".

Midmar Kirk S submitted by TheCaptain on 30th Jul 2017. What a fabulous site, the circle standing in the churchyard of Midmar Kirk, gravestones all around it but none placed within. Nicely looked after, this has become something of a favourite.

Log Text: From the top of Alex Tor I decide to head down then out for a look at Middle Moor Cross, which I could not decide whether it had turned since the last time I visited. It is said to turn on hearing the St Breward church bells. I then returned to the car and going to the Blisland Inn for crab sandwich and pint.

Mezdoun menhirs submitted by theCaptain on 2nd Feb 2012. The eastern of the two looks to have been broken and was possibly once much bigger.

Log Text: Two menhirs in a field of growing sweetcorn, so getting close enough to get details was not easy. These two menhirs are both between 4 and 5 metres tall, and have been shaped. The further east of the two looks to have been broken and was possibly once much bigger. They are about 60 metres from each other, on an east to west alignment.
