Log Text: The wooden columns totally obscure the fact that this is even a stone row. Now they look more like stones that were simply used as parking bollards.

Log Text: There is an obvious path leading from the road to the site through a wonky gate made of twine and an old pallet. I was not surprised to find the circular structure nearby, but now I can't find where I would have heard that it was there.

Log Text: Rough going to reach this site. After much wandering and scrambling around the rocks I found the faded sign from the local archaeology unit among rocks that themselves seem nothing special. It turns out I was only about 50 meters below the actual base of the nuraghe.

Log Text: A very untidy entrance area, with lots of junk lying around, and a sad looking dog tied up at the beginning of the path. There are hints of structures all around, but very overgrown and difficult to interpret.
