During a very cold week in January 2016 the team went out in Brittany to collect data from pre-historic sites for 3D visualisation. Below are a few of the sites recorded.  

You can see the 3D images of the sites Here

St Mayeux (Plenee-Jugon)

The first stop of the day was the chapel dedicated to St Mirel which stands between two Menhirs, the chapel having been built there to christinise the site. The team undertook  Photogrammetry using cameras and the drone.

Standing stone with a cross on the the top standing at the side of the road visited early on a cold misty morning giving it an eerie mystique

Menhir de la Tremblais (St Samson-sur-Rance)

This Granite Menhir is over 6m long and leans considerable to the east.  It contains carvings  and has a series of horizontal bands on it consisting of lightly juxtaposed rectangular figures, some with internal cupmarks. At one time it was said that young people would slide down the stone and if they did not fall off they would marry within the year.  There is quartz vein running diagonally across it's face which was believed to be the Devil's whip.
