New information signs erected at dolmen sites and historical areas across Jersey

New information signs have been erected at dolmen sites and other historical areas across Jersey.

Each display provides visitors with information about the special sites and their location.

For the first time, the boards will include the language of Jèrriais and also feature local artwork and facts about the surrounding wildlife and geology.

Millie Butel is the Landscape Engagement & Geopark Development Curator for the project and said: "The new signs replace old signage that was over ten years old and very weathered.

"Care has also been taken to ensure that the signage is as accessible as possible and we have worked closely with local access providers to achieve this.”

The project has been a collaboration between; Jersey Heritage, La Société Jersiaise, Jersey National Park, Government of Jersey, National Trust for Jersey and Megalithic Routes.

Mille adds: "The installation of the new signage in collaboration with Geopark partners is the first phase of activity to raise awareness about Jersey’s incredible geo-heritage by enhancing existing infrastructure and increasing the visibility of our island’s heritage."

Dolmens are prehistoric ritual monuments dating back to the Neolithic period. They're believed to be around 6000 years old.
