Trépied Dolmen

Guernsey


This Neolithic passage tomb dates back to around 4000 BC; human remains, flint arrowheads and pottery were found inside. The tomb gets a (dis)honourable mention in the 17th-century Guernsey witch trials: allegedly, this was a favourite meeting place for Friday night revelries and the Devil himself joined in. Who can blame them? The location is stunning!
