Gavrinis, Gulf of Morbihan, Brittany, France. Neolithic passage tomb, 4200–4000 BC. It features elaborate megalithic art consisting of deep cut, granite-glittering spirals, zigzags, and other geometric motifs, which make it one of my all time favourite sites to visit.

A photo I took at Meini Hirion (Druid's Circle) Gwynned, North Wales, UK. Looking towards the Great Orme's Head site of a Bronze Age copper mine. Meini Hirion is Neolithic possibly 5000 years old. There are other circles and standing stones nearby. A lovely walk.
