Glassy seas greet Stargazer's skipper. Taking the morning air, by the harbour entrance.
A path clambers up a steep hillside. Through dense shoulder high scrub. Heavy with peeping wildflowers, ripening berries and shimmering with flitting butterflies.
Until it reaches the clifftop. Where the mysterious stone building civilisation has left its calling card. In the form of a terraced, drystone walled tumulus, containing chambers within.
Known as the Petit Mont, the site covers over an acre. Purpose, open to speculation. As is its precise method of construction. Although sledges are suggested to have been used to carry the architectural stone.
It is sited to dominate the skyline, on the approaches to the Golfe du Morbihan (red stone marker, top left). Looking out across Quiberon Bay.
