For this week’s offering for #StandingStoneSunday here’s the base of a Saxon cross shaft in the porch of Escomb church.

And finally, the best of the lot: the enormous Dolmen de la Frebouchere.

It has an enormous flat rock as a roof, with considerable room inside. This must have been a serious burial chamber

Another pic from #Southampton Old #Cemetery #photography and a sort of offering for #StandingStoneSunday - don't they look human, or is it just me?

But then here is a brilliant pair of standing stones: the Menhirs du Plessis.
(You can just see the second stone in the background here)

Second is this apparently “discutable” one - a reconstruction of a Dolmen which has since collapsed…

The 6.5m tall menhir known as Le Géant du Manio in Carnac (Morbihan) is at the end of track between the alignments of Kermario and Kerlescan close to a tertre tumulaire. This card by Le Rouzic in Carnac c.1905. #StandingStoneSunday.

Going to push some lighter content… here are some holiday snaps from a little cycling tour around an *amazing* set of Stone Age tombs and standing stones in the Vendee

After the University of York's exciting new paper this week, it had to be a Devil's Arrow for #StandingStoneSunday.

This is just half of the southernmost stone, the second tallest in the UK at nearly 7 metres.

A #StandingStoneSunday that's more a #TombTuesday cry for help. This is stone 1 of Mougau-Bihan allee couverte in Brittany. I can't see engravings that should be visible. See other pics for what should be there and example from elsewhere in this tomb. Stone 1 has me puzzled. Help!
