A couple of questions -

Isn't it surprising it has only just been discovered? A while back, Four Winds said everyone from here should go out and look for such things at Solstice. Looks like he was right. Anyone have any likely candidates?

It looks to me that since the sun streams right into the chamber it might also shine through the hole in the back and onto the (replaced) carved standing stone at the rear of the tomb. How good would that be? Anyone know if its likely to?

The whole set up seems very Irish. Yes/no?
