Petit Mont submitted by AlexHunger on 20th Dec 2004. Petit Mont in Arzon, dating to about 4600 BCE at the earliest, is one of the most significant Cairns in Britany, but unfortunately one of the most brutaly vandalized. In 1942, German troops built a bunker and Flak emplacement into the South East Corner of the cairn, which compeltely destroyed one of the chambers and caused the collapse of the second one pictured above, which has since been restored. The megalithic entrance is sought to be an addition from Gallo-Roman times. All pictures have be...

Pont Scethin Double Cairn
Date Added: 5th Oct 2019
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 6th Mar 2019
Pont Scethin Double Cairn submitted by w650marion on 6th Mar 2019. Hunting for the Pont Scethin Double Cairn is good fun for a while - it does not appear to be a double, and is not in line with the square walls of Tynewedd, a little further to the East. But scouring the area, this is the only obvious candidate! So I hope it is right!

Log Text: Coflein led me to believe that there were four mounds from a bronze age cemetery nearby on this side of the road. I don’t believe it! I think the aerial mapping project just saw a trick of the light, and invented them!

Log Text: Guided cave visit to see where humans lived 20000 years ago in a large chamber 25 meters from the entrance. About 2000 dateable finds (including engravings and laurel leaf stone tools) have been made due to the stratification in the dig. The second part of the tour involves climbing down long ladders to see the underground lake and cave formations.

Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2019. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 5
Saint-Uzec menhir submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd Apr 2011. Its crowning glory is the way it has been christianised with the addition of a granite cross on top and carvings on its front (southern) face, which show scenes from the bible and the "roughly hewn instruments of passion".
In the past it was also painted. This was all done in 1674, when the nearby chapel was built.

It was snowing hard at this point on Midwinter Solstice Eve, and even I was questioning my sanity about being in this exposed, beautiful and dramatic landscape.
A biting wind meant I did not stay here for any longer than necessary to get a shot, but on subsequent trips, it will be worth spending tim...

The Stiperstones submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Jun 2004. A cairn just north east of Manstone Rock.
"The Stiperstones" is the name for a hill on the far west reaches of Shropshire, well into The Welsh Marches, overlooking the Welsh border. It is the second highest hill in Shropshire, affording superb views in all directions, and having several bronze age cairns along its ridge.
The cairns themselves, excepting the largest, can be quite hard to locate. At a very reductionist level, they are basically piles of stone amidst a whole ridge of piles of...
