Tealing Souterrain submitted by Nick on 5th Nov 2002. Tealing is just north of Dundee on the A929. Turn into the village and follow the road round, and look for the signpost. The souterrain is down a track and over a stile in a field behind the doocot (16th century pigeon house). This site dates from approximately 100 AD, and is a well preserved example. These earth houses were covered over with thatched roofs, and used for storage. The cup and ring marked stone at the northern entrance is thought to have been taken from another site and used ...

Heidenstein (Schwörstadt)
Trip No.6 Date Added: 19th Oct 2019
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Germany (Baden-Wuerttemberg)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jul 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 5
Heidenstein (Schwörstadt) submitted by AlexHunger on 4th Sep 2005. Heidenstein - Schwörstadt (Front)
Front upright orthostat with "Soul Hole" and only remainder of former Dolmen. 1.9 Meter tall and about 3 meters wide and dated to about 2500 BC.
The cap stone was alledgedly carted away by the local blacksmith several decades ago. The rear side shows traces of fire due to the burning of trash. Archeologists have marked out the outline of the rest of the dolmen with bricks and set up an information sign.
It and the Toten Mann are the southernmost Dolmen...

Hunnenstein (Dossenbach) submitted by Faseso on 11th Nov 2016. Hunnenstein near Dossenbach. The surrounding landscape is also of importance here. There seems to have been some a henge, ritual site - nearby is also the Menhir of Dossenbach. There could have been a connection of the two.
