In today's episode, we are going to be exploring the lost dolmen of La Coupe, a series of ancient stones on the sea shore in Jersey, that have given local archaeologists and geologists much to deliberate.
Are these stone just a jumbled mass on the sea shore, or are they actually a megalithic monument? If so, how did they get there? Where they carefully placed there in prehistoric times or did coastal erosion mean they tumbled from a hill top near by?
Join hosts Mel and Perry with special guest Paul Chambers, Head of the Aspiring Jersey Island Geopark project, to discuss the mystery surround the lost dolmen. Find out why we call these megalithic structures are called dolmen in Jersey (an incorrect term) and the prehistoric origins of Jersey.
Paul also talks about the Aspiring Jersey Island Geopark project, an Island-wide initiative to become a Geopark.
