The Tumulus of Bougon or Necropolis of Bougon is a group of five Neolithic barrows located in Bougon near La-Mothe-Saint-Héray, between Exoudon and Pamproux in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. Their discovery in 1840 raised great scientific interest. To protect the monuments, the site was acquired by the department of Deux-Sèvres in 1873. Excavations resumed in the late 1960s. The oldest structures of this prehistoric monument date to 4800 BC.

FRANCE HOLIDAY PART 3 | A NEOLITHIC DOLMEN AND LA ROCHE L'ABEILLE VILLAGE

In part 3 of my series documenting my family holiday in France, I explore a Neolithic (Stone Age) Dolmen on the outskirts of a tiny village called La Roche L' Abeille. There are loads of these dotted all over the world, this being the second time I have explored one myself, the first being Kitt's Coty House in Kent.

We then drove into the village for a wander around to explore, including the parish church and stopped for a drink in the local cafe/ bar. Once again, the weather was lovely, perhaps a little too hot at times!

Knap of Howar, Scotland

At Knap of Howar on the island of Papa Westray in Orkney, Scotland, a Neolithic farmstead may be the oldest preserved stone house in northern Europe. Radiocarbon dating shows that it was occupied from 3700 BC to 2800 BC, earlier than the similar houses in the settlement at Skara Brae on the Orkney Mainland.

Grand Cairn de Barnenez, Brittany

This is the largest Megalithic mausoleum in Europe. It is vast, but actually not very exciting. It does offer another view of the Bay of Morlaix. If you happen to use a wheelchair, or have children in a push chair you might want to give this a miss as you will see from the two flights of steps onto the site - I checked and there is no other access point!

S'il vous arrive d'utiliser un fauteuil roulant, ou avoir des enfants dans une poussette, vous pouvez donner ce un échec comme vous le verrez dans les deux volées de marches sur le site - j'ai vérifié et il n'y a pas d'autre point d'accès!
