| Grafheuvel Koudhoorn (45858) | Round Barrow(s) | Netherlands | Gelderland | Visited | 18th Aug 2022 | 4 | 5 | 2 | This mound is seriously beautiful, surrounded by very dense forest with a thick covering of fallen branches and thick undergrowth. A good 200 m from a poor, sandy bridal trail renders this site difficult to access, but worth it, if you are a fan of mounds! | ||
| Grafheuvels Doornse Gat | Round Barrow(s) | Netherlands | Utrecht | Visited | 18th Aug 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | I identify 4 individual mounds at this location, as illustrated on the uploaded map image, with photos also uploaded of each mound. | ||
| Grafheuvels Maarn | Round Barrow(s) | Netherlands | Utrecht | Visited | 18th Aug 2022 | 4 | 5 | 3 | This is a fenced off area of 4 or 5 burial mounds at least, covered in heather and ver beautiful. | ||
| Fordham Puddingstone | Marker Stone | England | Essex | Visited | 16th Aug 2022 | 4 | 3 | 5 | An easily accessed and quite impressive Puddingstone, situated right next to a small road... It is situated outside of the property gates, and can therefore be admired with ease. | ||
| Lousberg Flint Quarry | Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 27th Oct 2021 | 3 | 5 | 3 | The Lousberg Flint Quarry is on top of a very steep hill in the centre of the city of Aachen. There is a car park quite near the top. Much of the summit of this feature was apparently used for making flint tools, and there are some excellent information boards (in German) on the summit now, descirbi... Read More |

| Achim-Baden Huegelgrab | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 25th Sep 2021 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Situated a two minute walk from a LIDL car park, this site is surprisingly pleasant. Totally surrounded by recent developments, this site is an oasis of trees and vegetation in Achim. 200 m from a wilderness park. | ||
| Visbek Brautwagen | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The brides coach is made of very large blocks, the most massive used in the local tombs. | ||
| Visbek Opfertisch | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 3 | 4 | 5 | A pleasant and quite well visited site in August. The large tree give a pleasing composition. It is interesting to see how out of scale the previous visitors rendered this site in etchings, certainly portraying a more dramatic tableau than that existing in actuality. | ||
| Thoelstedt Steingrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 2 | 4 | 5 | August seems a poor time to visit, at least in 2021 - the site was totally overgrown with stinging nettles. The information board by the small road was clearly visible, and an excellent bench for taking a break during a cycle, but as you can see from my image, details were very difficult to make ou...

| Saint-Gonvarc'h menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 4 | 5 | 2 | I was whisked past this menhir on a bus some way distant. Even so, this massive stone was still visible above a cropped field. A fantasticly prominent stone. | ||
| Dolmen de Poulliot | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 3 | 4 | 4 | I was lucky at the time of visit. The field had been cleared of crops, and the fine dolmen was clearly visible. From the grass, it seems that currently a way is kept crop free to visit the dolmen, even during the growing period. An impressive site. | ||
| Dolmen de la Pointe du Dreff | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 1 | 3 | 4 | These remains are almost impossible to distinguish from coastal stones. Adjacent to a car park, not marked with any information, but surrounded by pleasing coastal views. | ||
| Dolmen de Kerizella | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 3 | 3 | 4 | This dolmen is in a boggy corner of what appears to be a private garden. Nonetheless, viewing is possible from the roadside, and a distance of 10 m. | ||
| Île Melon menhirs | Standing Stones | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 3 | 5 | 1 | These stones are rather pleasant, and likely lined up with the large menhir which was once nearby. The stones are host to a range of interesting fauna, as is the island as a hole, with many contrasting exposure niches providing for a patchwork fauna mosaic. | ||
| Île Melon grand menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | -1 | 4 | 1 | The shattered remains of this menhir are quite clear when viewed from the other existing sites on the small island. | ||
| Dolmen du Vern | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 1 | 2 | 5 | This site is not actually a dolmen. It is a donated tomb door, now situated at the entrance driveway of a crematorium. | ||
| Dolmen de Lannidult | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 1 | 4 | 5 | various dolmen components form part of the eclectic and unusual collection of oddities in this nice church yard. There is parking adjacent to the well kept site. | ||
| Allee Couverte De Traonigou | Chambered Tomb | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 2 | 3 | 1 | Well, this site looks impressive but it is extremely difficult to see. In the middle of a farmers field, there is no way to get a good look other than by climbing a steep and awkward verge. The entranceway for agricultural vehicles is strung with 'keep out' notices, and a wall borders the rest of th... Read More |

| Traonigou alignement de menhirs | Stone Row / Alignment | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 3 | 5 | 4 | At the time of visit, only the two vertical stones were visible given the thick greenery. A beautiful site, though for some reason a rope had been strung across the access path. | ||
| Île Melon Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | Visited | 16th Sep 2021 | 3 | 5 | 2 | This visit was made during the mid-tide, and required a reasonable swim of about 40 m. Should not be attempted alone. | ||
| Visbeker Braut | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 3 | 4 | 5 | A splendid site, well visited this summer by a range of interested visitors. Atmospheric for such an easily reached site adjacent to a sizable road. | ||
| Bargloyer Steinkiste | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 3 | 3 | 4 | A surprisingly small capstone on top of a sizable mound. | ||
| Schmeersteine Grosssteingrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Several noticeboards surround this site. A very pleasant surrounding woodland with a great diversity of undergrowth flora. | ||
| Schmeersteine Huegelgrab (1) | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 3 | 4 | 3 | At midday, the barrow was not immediately obvious with the summer forestfloor growth. | ||
| Wildeshausen Hohe Steine | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 3 | 4 | 5 | This site is excellently presented. A recent information board is at some distance, so not interfereing with the pleasing ambience. Also, a nice picnic bench is provided and some small car parking space. | ||
| Bargloyer Brookbäke Steingrab (2) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 1 | 3 | 4 | The two megaliths noted by Martin L remain visible, though I did not note the barrow structure as clearly... there is some rusty barbed wire fencing in the vicinity, so be careful of this whilst exploring. | ||
| Bargloyer Brookbäke Steingrab (3) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 1 | 3 | 4 | The years since Martin L visited this site have not been kind, it is difficult to pick out the features he describes. | ||
| Bargloyer Brookbäke Grab (4) | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Aug 2021 | 1 | 4 | 4 | A tree covered slight rise with ~10 m wide depression was all that was visible at this site. |
