Botlann dolmen submitted by minteddy on 12th Sep 2008. I assume this has been heavily restored to produce such a flat cap stone. What other dolmen look so slim?

Log Text: Difficult to see a cromlech among the stones of the alignment from ground level. It could simply be a case of missing stones making the appearance of a circle.

Log Text: The condition rating applies to the actual menhir in the Latenium museum. This rough copy has all the appeal of a piece of leftover construction material, but it is a nice gesture to mark the approximate area the menhir was found.
