I'm still looking for something Menhir-shaped, to go with my Metal Magic Menhir Delivery man.

The Trilithon is reserved for Britons. I might try a Tumulus or the other one whose name escapes me.. the rock thingy with a flat rock on top arrangement, for the Gauls.

Cromlech in Welsh - also found in France, especially Brittany. Usually three or four uprights with one laid across the top. However, they were then buried and have only become exposed through thousands of years of weathering, hence why they were made of rough stones. Would they therefore have been visible above ground 2,000 years ago?

Stonehenge was meant to be seen, hence the careful 'joinery', shaping and polishing of the stones. Here's the best of the ones local to me, including an artist's impression of what it looked like when new: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentre_Ifan
