. The unique carving of an armed human figure on a capstone in the Déhus passage grave, Guernsey, has been known for some 70 years but has hitherto eluded parallels and explanation. With the stimulus of recent researches in Brittany, it is now possible to suggest that here too is an example oficonoclasm and incorporation associated with the inception of the Neolithic and the formative stages of megalithic traditions.

The wealth of evidence for Channel Islands megaliths is surveyed, with some attention to the contribution of the archaeological family Lukis. Detailed studies of distribution and relative survival demonstrate one advantage of the insular circumstance. A review of structural diversity, associations, and mortuary rites provides a local schema and this is placed within the framework for north-west France. The effects of insularity versus wider developments are assessed. Two specific case-studies—a structural and social interpretation of La Hougue Bie and an assessment of megalithic origins based on the Déhus carving—are of considerable importance for the wider field. Detailed lists of island structures are appended

An overall survey of the relative strengths and weaknesses of research on the Scottish Neolithic is attempted, focusing particularly on recent work. The high quality of much of the evidence is stressed as is the variability of the attention paid to it. Particular themes have been chosen to exemplify these and to provide some opportunity for a wider perspective.
... Reviews of evidence for physical traces of Neolithic farming in Scotland are often short on detail, and always brief (cf Kinnes 1985;Barclay 2003: 141-4;Guttmann 2005 Kinnes (1985: 28-9), for instance, commented briefly on field systems across one paragraph, noting the lack of evidence for such features in mainland Scotland's Neolithic, but assuming their existence. More broadly, syntheses of prehistoric farming in Scotland (eg Halliday et al 1981;Lewis 2012) have shed light on a range of sites and practices that might be Neolithic in origin. ...

... Il est plus facile de se déplacer en mer qu'à pied (en quatre jours de marche depuis la Galice, on parcourt 200 km vers les Pyrénées, alors que dans le même temps une embarcation pourra aborder le sud de la Bretagne), en traversant des territoires occupés par des groupes humains éventuellement hostiles. Les néolithiques morbihanais maitrisaient très probablement la navigation en mer comme en témoignent les implantations humaines très anciennes sur les îles du Ponant au sud du Morbihan, dès le Mésolithique (PéQuart, PéQuart, 1954 ;Batt, Kayser, 1989), les échanges avec le continent qui se sont développés au Néolithique (Kinnes, 1988 ;auDouarD, 2014) ou le transport maritime de mégalithes sur plusieurs dizaines de kilomètres et pour plusieurs centaines de tonnes (Le roux, 1997 ; cassen et alii, sous presse). On peut par conséquent sérieusement envisager des liaisons maritimes occasionnelles entre la Galice et le sud de la péninsule armoricaine. ...

... The Le Déhus passage grave has over the past 180 years been widely reported upon (Cassen et al. 2015;Collum 1933;Kinnes & Hibbs 1989;Lukis 1865). This circular monument stands on a small low-lying hillock near the north-eastern tip of the island. ...
