Stone Rows
St Just, Ille-et-Vilaine

St Just area 
There is a large concentration of sites here near this village that makes a good day’s walking in very pleasant scenery. Most sites can be visited on foot to the west of the village. The site is signposted but parking is very limited and is not helped by the ditch you have to negotiate. There is plenty of parking in the sport complex/campsite nearby where a sign and footpath lead through the trees to the start point.

You will see these from the roadside parking space and the first stones you come to are white quartz boulders. There are three rows here, two run ESE-WNW roughly parallel to each other with the third further on but at right angles to the others in a roughly N-S alignment. 

The northern row

The first row is the northern quartz row. This consists of some 21 large quartz boulders and is about 60m long. Part of the way along it appears to be a couple of cist boxes where at one stage a cairn had been built over a fallen stone.


The next row is just over 30m long and is made up of impressive schist pillars and thinner quartz stones. The tallest stone is near the center and reaches to almost 4.5m (15ft). 

The southern row

The third row can be found further along in the gorse and is made up of several more white quartz boulders, some look displaced.



The third row

A path has been made leading to all the sites. If you follow the wrong track you will end up by the restored windmill, go back a short way to where a farmer’s electric fence starts – follow this fence to the next site. However if you take the path below the third row it will bend round the gorse to reach the same place.
