Log Text: Very stiff climb up a path from the road which lead directly to the tomb. There are some vast rocks here. Found a more sensible route down which exited on a track by the river.

Tathwell Long Barrow submitted by DavidRaven on 13th Jul 2006. Summer's breezes blow the barrow across a sea of barley... (I should be a poet, eh? :-D)

Log Text: The view from the road is very misleading as you can't see the barrow because the height is less than the surrounding scrub.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Aquitaine:Gironde (33))
Visited: Yes on 7th Apr 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Sabatey Dolmen 1 submitted by thecaptain on 9th Jan 2006. Remains of two dolmens near to the village of Bellefond in Gironde.
Sabatey dolmen 1 is in the woods, and the remains of the allée-couverte on top are much more recogniseable tan its neighbour.

Log Text: Important to approach this site from the Sabatey farm where the gate described by the captain can be found along with a sign. The road to the west may be closer to the site but access would be through a private wood with no paths.

Log Text: Not as frequented as the nearby dolmen. Not really a path but there is a route through the trees so not difficult to find when you know it is at the top of the hill.

Log Text: This Dolmen is vast. Why it is possible to drive up and walk round it without paying anything is a mystery in these mercenary times. When you first walk through the trees and see it, it is quite breathtaking. It is such an enormous construction.

Robin Hood and Little John
Date Added: 15th Oct 2018
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cambridgeshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2016
Robin Hood and Little John submitted by Thorgrim on 21st Oct 2004. Standing stones in East Anglia? That's what the book says, but I don't think so. Two well dressed stones incredibly difficult to find by the River Nene. Probably early medieval stones set here to mark a safe crossing of the wide river.

Revesby Barrows submitted by Arjessa on 18th Apr 2016. Two Round Barrows on private farmland adjacent to the A155 at Revesby, Lincolnshire, can be viewed up close from verge but land in private. Map shows more round barrows to be amongst the trees and are not visible. These two Round Barrows appear to be connected by a low tunnel.

Log Text: Only a short walk to this tomb as our sat nav took us down a dusty track and then we only had to walk across a bridge and a field to see it. We did not get to the other one as it was late and we assumed that it was in the middle of a field of sweetcorn being harvested.
