    Must have used a pretty big crane to hoist that stone on top of those rocks. As for the woman, she is almost camouflaged. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmen

    Meehambee? Not 100% sure ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meehambee_Dolmen goo.gl/maps/5vVazDiNv452 (Location) via Bradley Davis

    The"Roman" tiled roof behind would suggest to me that it's out foreign. Maybe Brittany or some such gaulish place.
  • derangedlemur said:
    O Mac I'm not sure. It seems to have two cherries, an oak, an apple and a fairly Irish looking wall around it.

    Lots of trees in the background suggests East rather then West...

    Google Satellite view, of St. Lythan's (it's hidden behind a hedge in Streetview).
  • Niall McAuley said:
    It looks as if Sharon has it!
