Log Text: An outcrop of which seems to be the site for graffiti over a long period of time. Some cup type marks but of dubious origin. Some unusual markings and symbols. No doubt it has been attracting visitors all this time. Hard to tell what is old and what is new. A giveaway is when people put the date on them.
Great views from it though.

Log Text: Cerro da Vila is sited in Vilamoura on the Algarve, just down the road from the main post office. It is mainly a Roman site but is probably resting on an earlier settlement. It is the subject of proper archaeological investigation and the whole site is being extended gradually. It is part of a museum which is open on nearly every day of the year, the cost of entry is 3 Euro for an adult. Discount for Seniors and students.
The ruins are quite extensive and you can see mosaic floors, pools and walls. As it is still under a 'dig' the staff are on site all the time. Well worth the 3 Euro.

Walkways over the top with a hole cut in so you can look down, not much to see though. Entrance very narrow impossible to get right into chamber.

Log Text: Easy enough to find but watch out. Closed 25/12/2013 - 01/01/2014 despite all the information saying that it was only closed on Christmas Day. I arrived and found an A4 piece of paper on the entrance with this information. Apparently it is always closed on a Monday.

The staff are friendly. The building is very clean and brightly lit. It is well signposted.

Visited: Yes on 16th May 2011
Faldouet Dolmen submitted by attlebax on 16th May 2011. This site is well marked from the road and is on the Jersey map. The lane outside is narrow and has high banks so it is best to park just up the road. Not easy for any wheelchair users.

King Stone at the Rollrights submitted by attlebax on 8th May 2012. The King's Stone. Picture actually taken in 2007. A lady was performing some kind of rites in the circle centre at the time which I was just a little uncomfortable with. I was there to take in the great archaeology.
