Allée Couverte de Saint-Eugène
Date Added: 7th May 2017
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Languedoc:Aude (11))
Visited: Would like to visit
Allée Couverte de Saint-Eugène submitted by thecaptain on 14th Mar 2006. Up on top of a pine covered hill is an open flattish area, upon which is built this lovely tomb. It has all been much restored, so quite how much is original I do not know.
The first thing you see is a circular stone wall containing a stone cairn, about a metre high and about 25 metres in diameter, with upright slabs every 5 metres or so around its circumference. Within this is the remains of a massive structure, and a partitioned chamber.

Bois Couturier Allée couverte
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Ile-de-France:Val-d'Oise (95))
Visited: Would like to visit
Bois Couturier Allée couverte submitted by greywether on 30th Jun 2005. A truly superb site which deserves to be better known. Restored and still sitting in its mound, the exceptional feature is the complete rebated porthole. Better still, the porthole "stopper" survives and is on display at the local museum. To add to the interest, there is "breast and necklace" art on the two outer portals, although now faint. Fantastic!

Filitosa Central Monument

Site Type: Cairn
Country: France (Corsica:Corse-Sud (2A))
Visited: Would like to visit
Filitosa Central Monument submitted by nicoladidsbury on 9th Jun 2004. Corsica
On road D57 north of Propriano
Filitosa, the mysterious, and most celebrated prehistoric site on Corsica. There are six menhir statues aligned on the central monument, with steps leading up to the highest point. This enclosure is thought to have been a temple. The statues have carved human faces, wearing helmets and some carry weapons. In fact some of the statues are very phallic, and its suggested they may have been used to encourage fertility of the land.

Palaggiu Alignement submitted by nicoladidsbury on 3rd Sep 2004. Alignements de Palaggiu
The alignments stretch across the countyside like a battleground of soldiers. The site is close to the sea and there is a theory that the statues were some sort of magical deterrent to invaders.
