Dolmen de Puy Landry
Date Added: 28th Jun 2013
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Aquitaine:Gironde (33))
Visited: Would like to visit
Dolmen de Puy Landry submitted by thecaptain on 9th Jan 2006. In fine wine country near Salles-de-Castillon, atop a ridge in woodland can be seen a standing stone.
Closer inspection reveals a fallen companion and that the stones are on top of a mound running in an easterly direction with several other stones lying about in the vicinity. This leads me to suspect that this is in fact the remains of a dolmen or allée couverte.

Pierre Levée (Salles-de-Castillon) submitted by thecaptain on 4th Jul 2005. La Pierre Levée, Salles-de-Castillon, Gironde.
This was one of the more interesting sites I found in my last session in France. It comes with its own wine, made by the chap in the picture, in his "chateau" at which this menhir is at the entrance.

Log Text: Nice village in the borough of Solihull, near Balsall Common.
In some old documents we found the names: Beorcoles well or Beorcol’s spring and Berchewelle, the name could originate from the anglosaxon word: "berc" which in modern English is a "birch".
The English place names society suggested that the name Berkswell means the Well of Bercul. A Bercul is noted in a 748AD document drawn up by Mercian King Ethalbald which granted the church indemnity from any services or taxation.
It is said that the area was Christianized by travelling monks from the city of Lichfield. A local leader, Bercul, is said to have been baptised in the well in the 8th Century.

Log Text: It was not even worth a picture, the place is full of brambles and nettles. It was very disappointing. Worth the walk from Kenilworth Castle to Honiley.
War Stone
Date Added: 17th Apr 2019
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (West Midlands)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2019. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 5
War Stone submitted by baz on 21st Mar 2004. The War Stone sits on its plinth in Warstone Lane, overlooking the people who pass by. Birmingham has no natural rock, so this stone, which was deposited nearby by a glacier during the last ice age, has done well to remain here since the Mesolithic.
