    Photographs of the FALDOUET “dolmen” (or, perhaps, a Druidic Temple), which is situated a few hundred yards from Haut de la Garenne

    From the Blog of Tony Bellows, who would seem to be a Jersey accountant and the author of ‘Channel Island Witchcraft’

    “…

    I have transcribed a translation of an essay called ‘Jersey as It Is’, published in 1844, as the result of a winning entry by F. Robious de La Trehonnais which won first prize in the competition of the Jersey Emulation Society …

    “His [de La Trehonnais’s] visit to FALDOUET sets off his imagination in fine fettle -- of course as most guide books of the time note, it was identified back then not as a Neolithic dolmen but as a much later DRUIDIC TEMPLE.

    La Pouquelaye de Faldouet

    It was excavated in 1839, 1868 and in 1910 by the Société Jersiaise. Human bones from at least three adults and two children, one of which was a complete skeleton in a seated position in one of the side chambers were found as well as a three complete plain bowls, a small 'pigment cup', two vase supports (on which sat two of the bowls), flint tools, stone axes, rubbers, hammers, greenstone and dolerite pendants.

    The dolmen is one of the two Jersey monuments aligned with the solar equinox.
