Log Text: I wasn't entirely convinced about the antiquity of the Essa Stones. The stones were ill matched and far apart. I thought they might have been modern rubbing stones.

Log Text: You would have thought that a tall standing stone on the roadside of a pub would be ideal. However, Pollachar Standing Stone's proximity to civilisation seem to detract from its antiquity.

Log Text: Pinbreck Hill Cairn is in the middle of nowhere, ruined and on the summit of a pathless hill. My philosophy is that there is more satisfaction to be gained from finding this site than being one of hundreds of people at Stonehenge.

Petit Mont submitted by AlexHunger on 20th Dec 2004. Petit Mont in Arzon, dating to about 4600 BCE at the earliest, is one of the most significant Cairns in Britany, but unfortunately one of the most brutaly vandalized.

Log Text: It is only 6 euros to access the Cairn de Petit Mont. Given the size and quality of the site that is good value. It includes a group tour in French of the Cairn & Dolmen 3a, which is off limits without a tour guide. I requested some English commentary and the guide was obliging enough to give me a short lecture in English in the chamber. I was also able to take photos.

Log Text: There is a significant concentration of ancient sites in Cambret Moor valley probably indicating its importance to the creators of the monuments.

It is a c. 3 mile return route with c. 400m ascent over rough moorland. Good walking boots and GPS Navigation are required.
