This classic work of archaeology offers a detailed and illuminating account of the excavation of the megalithic site at Carnac, in the Brittany region of France. Written by James Miln, a prominent Scottish antiquarian of the nineteenth century, it provides a wealth of information on the origins, design, and purpose of the mysterious stone circles and tombs of the region. Lavishly illustrated and thoroughly researched, it is a must-have for anyone interested in the prehistory of France or the development of megalithic culture.

From Carnac to Callanish

Book Description
This book discusses the lines of standing stones that until now have been the neglected wonders of prehistoric Europe, rows that were foci of rituals in Britain, Ireland and Brittany for over two thousand years. Places such as Carnac in Brittany and Callanish in the Hebrides are visited by many visitors each year, but before now there has been no book that seriously explains the history, significance and background to these impressive sites. Aubrey Burl shows that the settings vary from pairs of isolated stones in the far south-west of Ireland to networks of long lines in Scotland, Dartmoor and Brittany, and describes the types in a sequence of architectural chapters that stress the increasing social and commercial connections between regions hundred of miles apart. He uses information from a wide variety of sources - excavation reports, megalithic art, astronomical analyses and legends - to provide explanations of why the rows were erected, when, and what they may have been used for.

Book Description
Excerpt from Excavations at Carnac (Brittany): A Record of Archæological Researches in the Bossenno and the Mont Saint Michel IN the summer of 1873 I went on a tour in Brittany for the purpose of seeing some of the antiquities for which it is so famous, my chief object being to visit the celebrated align ments of Carnac. Landing at St. Malo, I proceeded by the beautiful scenery of the Rance to Dinan, and thence on to Morlaix. There a few days were pleasantly passed in making excursions to visit the curious churches and calvaries of St. Thegonnec and St. Guimiliau, and in examining the houses of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, which are still to be seen in the Grande Rue, and in the Rue des Nobles at Morlaix. These picturesque specimens of Breton architecture usually present their gable ends to the street, each successive storey projecting over the one below it, and they are often adorned with quaint carving on the woodwork.

Excerpt from Excavations at Carnac (Brittany): A Record of Archeological Researches in the Alignments of Kermario An obituary notice of him which appeared in the Seoisman states that Mr. Miln was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, the Royal Northern Society of Antiquaries, Copenhagen, and several other scientific societies, British and foreign; and only a few days before his death, he had received intimation that, in recognition of his great services to archaology, he had been unanimously elected vice-president of the Polymathic Society of the Morbihan. He was chie y known in the literary and archaeological world by his work, published in 1877, entitled Excavations at Carnac. But he was otherwise a notable and interesting man, full of intellectual energy, of large and varied informa tion, and of a most generous nature.

Proceeding onwards and making short stoppages at Brest, Pleybe, Quimper, Concarneau, Pontaven, and Quimperle, I eventually arrived at Auray, where carriages can always be obtained for Carnac.
