Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Would like to visit
Saint-Michel tumulus submitted by thecaptain on 29th Oct 2004. Tumulus St Michel, just north of Carnac, Brittany.
This massive tumulus is 120m long and 12 metres high, with a chapel built on top of it. It is (or was when I was there in 1987) possible to visit inside the mound and see the two large chambers and many smaller stone lined cists.
Many artefacts were found during past excavations, lots of which can be found in the Carnac Museum.

Log Text: We went looking for this cairn from the north, after visiting the Bryn Seward stone alignment. This was definitely a mistake in terms of making headway, but we did come across the most fantastic erratic while stumbling through the forrest, and also saw the circle of stones which were clearly something significant.
From later research, these seem to be the hut circles listed by RCAHMW database.
The ‘path’ shown on OS maps through the forest cannot be relied upon, and the firebreak track through the conifers becomes a virtual river whenever it rains.
The cairn is actually very easily reached from the upper lane.
I first became aware of this cairn from some really helpful jottings I came across on the net a couple of years ago – I hope their journey comments and well-described routes inspire others too:

Althing
Date Added: 16th Jan 2011
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: Iceland
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jan 2011
Althing submitted by pab on 2nd Jan 2011. Site in Iceland
By way of contrast to Drew's photo from April 2010, this picture is of the same location, but looking at the Rock and flag from the other direction. This was taken in July 2002, when Iceland was really in bloom with wild flowers.
The Icelanders have a very keen pride in having had their democratic 'parliament' since such an early period.

Date Added: 30th Dec 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Would like to visit
Nicholaston Long Cairn submitted by sem on 24th Apr 2008. Unfortunately this tomb is on open heath used for grazing cattle, so the ground is covered in straw and cow***t.
Very little remains to be seen.

Carreg Bica Cairn
Date Added: 29th Dec 2010
Site Type: Round Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 5th Oct 2010
Carreg Bica Cairn submitted by PAB on 5th Oct 2010. Carreg Bica - general view, looking southeast. The shape of the barrow is clear and striking, providing excellent panoramic views.
The stone cairn is clearly a fairly 'modern' construct - and the marker is one of the boundary markers which go right round the Elan Valley Estate - about 65 miles apparently.

Troy Town Maze
Date Added: 29th Dec 2010
Site Type: Turf Maze
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)

Troy Town Maze submitted by pab on 26th Oct 2010. Troy Town Maze: showing the extent of erosion in June 2009. This is the view looking west, with Bishop Rock Lighthouse visible top left, about 4 miles away.
In such as exposed location, it must be very difficult for the soil and turf to recover from the damage caused by visitors tracing the curves.
