Log Text: Er-Grah Tumulus is one of Locmariaquer's big three sites. It is only accessible via the Site des Megalithes Visitor Centre for 6 euros. To be fair, there are three impressive monuments, unrestricted visiting time and free parking so what's not to like?
Er-Grah Tumulus has gravitas but it's long thin footprint make it difficult to capture a definitive image. The undoubted focus is the central tomb with its massive capstone, the cherry on the cake. I decided to walk slowly round Er-Grah Tumulus absorbing its antiquity as I strolled.

Log Text: I sailed past Er Lannic on the way to Isle de Gavrinis so I suppose that counts. However I was on the starboard of the boat (right-side) so I wasn't able to get a good picture.

Dun Ibrig submitted by markj99 on 9th Oct 2020. Approaching Dun Ibrig there is more water than land.

Log Text: It is ironic that Dun Ibrig is so close to civilisation (Scarinish) and so difficult to access. On my visit the marshland approach was waterlogged and Dun Ibrig was surrounded by a moat of deep water.
