St. Clair Hill
St. Clair Hill is at the foot of the road leading up to Delancey Park. The area at the top (and indeed the lane) is called Les Pointues Rocques. On this hill there was a chapel dedicated to St. Clair, a holy man who was the first Bishop of Nantes in the 3rd century. Far too late in date for this book, though chapels nearly always point to an earlier holy place, burial or spring. The abundance of ‘rocque’ related names nearby confirms that there was a lot of action from the megalithic builders in this area. |
