A bright early autumn day. The six (and a half) uprights are white against the scruffy dark hedge behind them. Most of them are roughly person height.

A neat dolmen-style burial chamber in a grassy clearing. There are plantation spruce behind, and ferns and smaller trees. It looks damply cool and enticing as I'm posting this on a very hot day.

Fourth and last of the old postcards of tombs at Carnac. This one is Le Mane Remor (obviously that e on Mane should have an accent on it but I can't for the life of me work out how to add one!).

Five medium sized rocks in a rough clearing with scrappy plantation trees in the background. The rock nearest the camera is more bouldery, the other four are upright pillars. The tallest is about five feet tall. A sixth stone can be seen in the distance.

Ollie experiences the very chunky Yetnasteen, #Rousay #Orkney #Scotland (2018)

"The name comes from Old Norse "Jotunna-steinn" meaning Giant Stone."

@megalithic.bsky.social
It's a beautiful sunny afternoon with blue skies but Ollie's outfit (boots, waterproof, woolly hat) indicate certain levels of windiness. The stone is about seven feet tall and two feet thick. It's very rectangular from this angle although from the other side it's surprisingly trapezoid.

For three years or something on Twitter I did a #DailyMegalith - irregularly on Mastodon, too, and Instagram sometimes, so here's one for today.

This is Cashtal yr Ard, #Maughold #IsleofMan - one of my favourite sites. The name means 'Castle of the Heights'. It's a Neolithic chambered tomb. (2023)
