• Borie Calern Baumettes-Broken [area map] - Baumette Broken, like the Shelter borie, is an intentionally topless dry-stone shelter, not a true borie.

• Borie Calern CergaNW [area map] - Small borie only 250 m NW of the CERGA moon laser, intact but with a messy exterior.

• Borie Calern Ruins-Copse [area map] - Low ruin of a small cairn on grassy ground beside a pine copse

• Borie Calern RuinsGR [area map] - Completely ruined little borie built into the stone edge of a doline
