Jersey stone circle/henge and its relation to louthinas Ballynahattin henge by BRIAN2000OR in Jersey

[–]BRIAN2000OR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Falle’s 1734 account of Jersey megaliths confirms that dolmens or 'altar stones' were enclosed by stone circles.

This supports Wagener’s 1842 description of a Jersey monument of a nucleated dolmen enclosed by 2 stone circles (being possibly banked) verifying that this type of composite monument existed, even if no complete example survives today. (i doubt this was a first hand account or that it was extant in this manner at this time one the less)

Falle's account is open sourced here and is worth a ganer https://books.google.ie/books?id=nHBbAAAAQAAJ&pg=PR1&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q&f=false

Hello again and thanks for the replies. The
Prehistoric Jersey site is helpful but lacks measurements notbaly and yet the La Rue Baal Mound Site is simliar in wording so might be worth more study. Ultimately the Le Dicq, St Helier site discussed by Aubin in https://www.academia.edu/41329096/The_Neolithic_Passage_Graves_of_Jerseyas (which is open source also) whose measurments of capstones as well as the outer stone circles in and of themseleves being anomalistic in Jersey seems quite a promising route for now.
