These were temple structures and are shaped like an enormous “T” made of gigantic rectangular stone slabs. The most remarkable are found at Torre Trencada, Talatí de Dalt -this one unique because of the slab diagonally supporting the upright stone – Torrellissá Nou, Trepucó, and the site at Torralba d’en Salord, whose enormous upright is buried to the depth of two metres.

This is necessarily exceedingly brief because there are hundreds of megaliths in Minorca and this is a Windsurf and Sailing Website, so I’m sure you’ll understand. Two last points of interest.

The Torre d’en Gaumés is the largest prehistoric village to be found in the Balearic Islands. It boasts three striking talaiots surrounded by a** defensive wall***, pillared naves and a taula whose cross-piece lies on the ground next to the upright. Nearby is a dolmen burial chamber, Ses Roques Llises. This village is found to the south of Alaior, between the village and beach at Son Bou, the longest on Minorca."

Taula, palabra corsicana, "mesa", italiano "tavola".

Le site comporte plusieurs ensembles de maisons cercles, mais ce sont celles situées au sud du site qui sont les plus remarquables. Situé à l'extrémité sud-ouest du site, l'un des mieux conservés est connu sous le nom de « cercle Cartailhac » en raison de la description qu'en a donnée Émile Cartailhac ; il est considéré depuis comme l'archétype de l'enceinte domestique post-talayotique1. Il comprend une salle hypostyle, un grand ensemble constitué d'une chambre précédée d'une cour intérieure, une vaste cour extérieure et un foyer. D'autres cercles ont été réutilisés et réaménagés durant la période almohade. Dans une maison, on a retrouvé un lot de céramiques complètes et six squelettes d'individus ayant subi une mort violente vers le iie siècle av. J.-C. À l'est de ce cercle, on peut voir un ensemble de trous creusés dans la roche, traditionnellement interprétés comme étant un système de collecte et de filtrage des eaux de pluie1.

Maybe cyclopean?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopean_masonry Cyclopean masonry is a type of stonework found in Mycenaean architecture, built with massive limestone boulders, roughly fitted together with minimal clearance between adjacent stones and with clay mortar or[1] no use of mortar. The boulders typically seem unworked, but some may have been worked roughly with a hammer and the gaps between boulders filled in with smaller chunks of limestone.

La cultura talaiòtica de les Illes Balears, o més concretament de les Gimnèsies (Mallorca i Menorca), amb els seus talaiots i navetes, també va utilitzar aquesta tècnica constructiva.[1] Algunes construccions que daten de l'època romana i són considerades ciclòpies es poden trobar, per exemple, a Tarragona (Catalunya), en una gran part de les muralles romanes. https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construcció_ciclòpia
Tmb https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultura_talaiòtica La cultura talaiòtica és l'etapa cultural que es desenvolupà a les Illes Balears - entenent aquestes com a Mallorca i Menorca - durant l'Edat del Bronze i l'Edat del Ferro. També s'han trobat restes d'aquesta cultura a illots de Mallorca com l'Illot des Porros[1][2] o a la cova de sa Font[3] i a cala Lledó de sa Dragonera.[4] A les Pitiüses de moment solament s'han documentat hàbitats del període naviforme.[5]

Torralba d'en Salort is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful examples of the talaiots Menorca has to offer. Stretching across 4 kilometres, this is one of the largest towns where visitors can embrace the culture of Talayotic Menorca. Discover two talayots, a spectacular taula that stands at a towering 4 meters in height, a hypostyle hall, several prehistoric houses, a cyclopean wall and a medieval building.

I'm not from Yorkshire but I enjoyed reading a series of who dunnit novels by Peter Robinson that were set in Yorkshire!

Dry stone walls are one of the Yorkshire Dales' most distinctive features, and are some of the oldest man-made landscape features.

It's believed there are over 5000 miles (8000 km) of dry stone walls in the Yorkshire Dales. Not all of them are in tip-top condition but most are well maintained.

One of the first questions any visitor asks is "why are they there"?

The very first dry stones walls were probably created centuries ago when early farmers were clearing the land for cultivation. Some walls are really thicker than might seem necessary, just because they were built in very stony areas. Most walls are built to mark field boundaries or mark land ownership, and limit movement by sheep and cows.

Tom Lord of Lower Winskill Farm, Langcliffe has over seven miles of dry-stone walls on his farm, some of which date back to the 13th century and are believed to have been built to deter wolves! When on a tour of his farm farm in Wensleydale, Adrian Thornton-Berry showed me some very straight walls rising up the hill near Swinithwaite and said they were built around 200 years ago by French prisoners of war taken from Napoleaon's army. Nearby are some large block foundations to a wall that dates back to the times of the Knights Templar. There's plenty of hidden history in those miles and miles of walls!
