Abstract:
Five seasons' work at this megalithic passage-dolmen have revealed the backfilled remains of a large dolmen beneath the known chamber, with which it shares several uprights. The later structure extends westwards into an arc of dry-walling which may originally have filled the gaps between the uprights. It is possible that there was a considerable delay between the destruction of the first phase, which may be of later Mesolithic date, and the construction of the second chamber and mound, from which Middle Neolithic pottery was recovered. The exact function of the monument remains unclear and the site fell into disuse in the mid third millennium BC. An appendix by Mark Patton (702--9) describes the `Prehistoric material from La Hougue des Geonnais' which consists of pottery, flint, worked stone (including parts of three granite querns from the matrix of the cairn) and some bone.
