Allée Couverte Le Ribl submitted by pab on 17th Dec 2014. "A burial monument dating from around 3000 BC, Le Ribl gallery tomb owes its name to an ancient watercourse partly covered by dunes.
The main chamber is accessible from the south-south-east and was formed from two parallel rows of pillars supporting covering slabs along a length of 10 metres.

Kermario alignements submitted by pab on 23rd Dec 2014. There is such a vast variation in size and shape - this seemed to have a different 'texture' - unfortunately I didn't manage to get the overall formation in my head so cannot say which of the rows or sections this one is.

This photo was submitted to the Portal by Ken Mumford in the hope that we could identify it. As Ken wrote: "I have been going through some old 35mm slides. Attached is one I took when taking secondary school pupils from my Swindon school on a holiday to South Wales. I'm not sure of the exact date but I would say it is between 1979 and 1986."

Calling Low Dale
Date Added: 24th May 2015
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 9th Feb 2015
Calling Low Dale submitted by pab on 9th Feb 2015. Photo provided by Alexis Lambourne:
"The cave / shelter makes use of a natural overhang in the cliff which makes a roof, this has been added to by enclosing it with a dry stone wall. The enclosed space is small (~6 ft long and maybe 4 feet wide). It is dry-ish, but the strata of the limestone rock just there is vertical making the roof quite loose and a bit drippy. Definitely more of a shelter than a 'home'. "

"Saxon Cross"
"Stanley West, then county archaeologist, made an exciting discovery in 1977. A large piece of stone built into the base of the church tower was a piece of an early stone cross. It is decorated with Anglo-Saxon interlace patterns and a mythical beast. Dating from the late 800s to early 900s, it would have been originally about 3 metres high. Such crosses ...
