Bartlow Hills
Date Added: 15th Oct 2018
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Cambridgeshire)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Sep 2018
Bartlow Hills submitted by Thorgrim on 17th Jul 2003. This is the largest barrow in Britain and very few people know of it. This Romano-British site at Bartlow is on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border at TL 586453. Originally the largest group in Europe when there were seven enormous barrows here. Then the now disused railway came through and flattened four of them! The largest survivor is 45 feet high and the highest in Britain by far. The wooden staicase gives access to the top without causing erosion. You can then look down on the other ...

Log Text: It is right on the edge of a small wood surrounded by vines. You either have to approach through a vineyard from the North of the stone or along tracks from the South between vineyards. It is not a very big stone but it is covered on the wood side with sets of parallel lines. Rock Art?

Dolmen dit de la Madeleine submitted by hewpop on 25th Sep 2007. Sainte-Madeleine dolmen aka. Pierre Madeleine.
Actually on the southern-most tip of an island in the river La Vienne, at Saint-Germaine-de-Confolens, not the town of Confolens downstream.
View from the SW.

Log Text: It would be truer to say we tried to visit this site. We did find someone who knew of its existence but the access is over a private bridge to the island. A boat might be useful. Not possible to get close enough on either side of the river to take a picture.

I had no idea what this is meant to be and indeed no idea whether this is the proper megalithic remains! Later I find out that this is indeed the remains of a megalithic burial chamber (dolmen a bit incorrect perhaps). And that there is also a menhir nearby.
