La Hougue Bie, Princes Tower Road, St Saviour

In the middle of the countryside, this is the site of a 40 feet high prehistoric mound inside of which is a Neolithic tomb and place of worship around 5,500 years old. There are two medieval chapels on the site

Investigation of the site led to many interesting discoveries and the entrance to the site has been restored to how it was to have looked in 3,500 BC. The Germans also built tunnels and communications bunker in this area and now contain archaeological displays.
