The impressive octagonal Iron Age stele of Grouaneg in Plouguerneau (Finistère) stands a little over 3m tall; a small cross was added in the Mediaeval period. When I last visited it was still embedded in a wall by the side of the road with a farm behind. #StandingStoneSunday .

The Dolmen of Briande I in Arçay (Vienne) has a long narrow chamber (10m long x 1.8m wide) covered by a single capstone,now broken in two, resting on seven surviving orthostats. Possible evidence for a portal suggests it was a dolmen angevin. #TombTuesday .

The 4.5m tall menhir of Kerelcun in La Feuillée (Finistère) stands at 250m above sea-level and is probably the highest located menhir in Brittany. This card by Joncour in Brasparts c. 1905 and his negative was re-used by Hamonic on his number 3831. #StandingStoneSunday .

The 3.3m tall menhir of L’Affiloir de Gargantua in Craménil (Orne) takes its name from a folktale: Gargantua challenged St Peter to see who could scythe fastest. St Peter won and in a fit of pique Gargantua threw his whetstone away and this is where it landed. #FolkloreThursday .

Down in the forest today at the Fairy Pool after attending the launch of Wendy Mewes new book on the Tro Breiz pilgrimage, a must for anyone interested in Breton history, culture and traditions. Path further on still blocked by trees felled by Storm Ceiran!

This card shows the entrances to the two transepted passage graves set in a single cairn at Les Mousseaux in Pornic (Loire-Atlantique). First discovered and excavated in 1840, it was re-excavated and restored in the 1970s. Card by Chapeau, Nantes c. 1910 or earlier. #TombTuesday .
