Site Type: Misc. Earthwork

St Roche's Gate Cross Dyke submitted by paulcall on 15th Jan 2007. This is the outermost of the two linear earthworks to the north-west, with the ditch facing inwards and the bank outwards, unlike the innermost one. It is possibly bronze-age. The ditch is only 1 metre deep.

Skomer Stone submitted by paulcall on 5th Oct 2008. Can anyone identify this stone for me? I took it in Pembrokeshire on a family holiday many years ago. I think it may be Harolds Stone on Skomer. Anyone agree?

Samson Hill, Bryher
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Oct 2007
Samson Hill, Bryher submitted by paulcall on 22nd Oct 2007. This is the southern of the two kerbed platform cairns on the east side of Samson Hill (GPS SV8793414245).
It is not as spectacular as the northern cairn, previously photographed and submitted by Thorgrim, as it is built into the natural promontary to a greater extent, and is therefore not as obvious. This photo shows the kerbstones on the centre-right and in the foreground, with a large natural rock centre-left.

Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2009
Reun menhir submitted by paulcall on 22nd May 2009. A fabulous 6 metre tall menhir, according to the notice-board, although it is so impressive I estimated it as being taller before I read the nearby sign.

Puy de Bon Temps Dolmen
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011

Puy de Bon Temps dolmen submitted by paulcall on 27th Aug 2007. This dolmen is signposted from the D68, but the sign is only visible when travelling south down the road towards Ajat. I missed the sign, and approached the dolmen from the other end of the track and ended up walking about 1 Km instead of a few metres!

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Sep 2008
Porthmeor Circle submitted by paulcall on 6th Sep 2008. Taken in late July when the bracken seems to grow mainly within the boundary of the circle of stones. There are a lot of scattered stones downhill and I found that circle itself was pretty difficult to identify.

Point du Jour dolmen
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Aquitaine:Dordogne (24))
Visited: Yes on 10th Sep 2007
Point du Jour dolmen submitted by paulcall on 10th Sep 2007. This is a view of the dolmen from the south, where there are a few tables for a picnic.
The site is easy to find as it is one of only 2 megalithic monuments in the south of Perigord marked on the tourist maps, and is signposted from the D2 between Monpazier and Villereal. There is a collection box to help upkeep above the left hand end of the capstone.

Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))

Plage de Porz-Carn menhir submitted by paulcall on 18th May 2009. This is the small menhir I found behind the Pors-Carn beach, GPS 47.82681 N 4.35320 W. It may be a much larger menhir than it appears, that has been buried under shifting sands over the years. It is now barely a metre tall. It is not marked on the IGN Bleu series map.

Penmaen Burrows
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 1st Dec 2006
Penmaen Burrows submitted by paulcall on 1st Dec 2006. Found 400metres down a track south-east from Penmaen village towards Threecliff Bay. It is quite ruined, and not mentioned in the otherwise comprehensive 'The Ancient Stones of Wales' by Chris barber and John Williams. However, it is marked clearly on O.S. map 159, but I found it surprisingly tricky to find when I visited.
