This is Kelt monolyt?

laughingmackerel, on March 15, 2008, said:

Hello lacitot no this is not Celt ..

In the later part of the NEOLITHIC period and early part of the BRONZE AGE (2,300 – 700 BC) people built a variety of ceremonial monuments on the moor, such as stone rows and circles, and buried their dead under stone mounds or cairns.
