Prehistoric Remains in Jersey: the Cromlech of Mont St. Ube, 1870. Dolmen de Mont Ubé (St Clement), Neolithic passage grave built c4000-3250 BC. 'The cromlech at Mont St. Ube, though devoid of all the covering stones, is still very remarkable for the regularity of its form, which exhibits the original plan of the Celtic architects perhaps more perfectly than any other cromlech in the Channel Islands. The view is from its north-eastern corner. It shows the interior of the western chamber, within which are two upright stone pillars showing marks of human handiwork. They have evidently been shaped at the top perhaps more fully to adjust the level of the superimposed capstone...[A report] brings to light the deplorable results of our past inattention to these valuable antiquities. It appears that wholesale destruction of them has taken place within the last century'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
