Le Pinacle is a protruding pinnacle of rock, at the coastal edge of a Les Landes in the north-west of Jersey,[1] with remains and ruins at its base dating from five periods including the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. There is also evidence of a rectangular Gallo-Roman temple.[2]
Megalith
The megalithic rock is a natural formation, and a prominent landmark which can be seen from St Ouen's bay.
