Menhir des Verdons
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Rhone:Savoie (73))
Visited: Yes on 17th Feb 2011
Menhir des Verdons submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Feb 2011. Is this an ancient menhir which has been re-erected, or a more modern stone ? I don't know. I can find nothing out about it. But here it stands, proudly at the Verdons lift complex, in the middle of the Courchevel ski area.
The stone itself stands about 2.5 metres tall, and certainly looks the part. I'm guessing a re-erection.

Cheriton Ridge stone row
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2011
Cheriton Ridge stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 20th Feb 2011. I found the tops of about 5 or 6 stones just poking their tops above the turf, aligned in a row oriented just east of north along the ridge. As with most of the Exmoor stone rows, the stones are tiny and very difficult to find, with most of them probably buried under the turf and heather.

Visited: Yes on 23rd Feb 2011
Cheriton Ridge 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Feb 2011. To the east, I found plenty more broken and fallen stones, which if all in place would have meant that this setting was perhaps three rows of four stones, running laterally to what is the remaining sixpack.
