Log Text: My first passage grave. I heard from it when reading about the megalithic yard and Uriel's device in a recent book. Fairly reconstructed so it may have lost some of its original "magic".
Newark Earthworks - Great Circle
Date Added: 3rd Jul 2015
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
Newark Earthworks submitted by aluta on 29th Apr 2005. A view from the center of the Great Circle Earthwork at Newark, Ohio, looking through the only entrance toward the museum on the grounds. The photo is taken from the low, broken-cross-shaped mound in the center. It is very difficult to get photos that give any sense of the whole at an earthwork this large.

Log Text: Unfortunately the site does not have a platform to view at least parts of it such as the Eagle mound in the center. However the visitor center does have some nice films and exhibits.

Log Text: The entire place is a golf course which may contribute to its damage. There is a small platform from where you can see part of the octagon and observatory circle but it is too short. It should be at least as tall as the one at the Serpent Mound (another site). From the platform you can best view the passage way between the circle and the octagon.

Moralepara Dolmens
Date Added: 18th Jul 2015
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: India
Visited: Yes on 16th Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Moralepara Dolmens submitted by Motist on 22nd Dec 2006. Megalithic burial ground at Mallachandiram, Krishnagiri district in Tamil Nadu.
+- 200 Dolmens of different sizes on the hill 500 Meters East of the village, in area measuring 800 x 800 Meters. There are rock drawings inside some of the dolmen. Cist burials with large ramp around them.
To get there: from Krishnagiri on NH 7 direction Bengalore ,19 Km -Sambahlpallam crossing, from there to the village 3 KM. Ask for Boopathi, he took me to the site.

Log Text: The correct coordinates for the site are: 12° 38' 12.84" N and 78° 5' 55.93" E
The site is located on a hill and the dolmens are clearly visible while approaching from Samalpallam on the NH 7 highway (if you get to Samalpallam from Bangalore - as I did - turn left at the village). Park the car near the hill and hike one of the trails that head up. My choice was to take the one from the NW. It starts in the small village right before Beerapalli (village visible in Google Maps).
There are literary tens of dolmens and menhirs. There are so many megaliths that you can even spot them in Google Maps. Some have pictographs and I even spotted, possibly ancient, pottery in some. The view is spectacular allowing you to see the entire region. No wonder they picked this hill for their burial grounds.
NOTE: One thing I noticed while scouting for this place is that the village names listed in Google Maps do not always match the ones on the road. My directions use the names you can see on the road.
