The concrete and breeze-block wall that holds up the rear of the capstone.

Both portal stones are missing and the capstone rests rather inelegantly on the doorstone.

The front of Knockeen. What a magnificent marvel of megalithic magic!

The back of Knockeen. The concrete lump here is dumped on the boundary wall and it plays no reinforcing role in the tomb.

The location of the small ditch I previously found and called Feature 12.
Its exact location, on What Three Words, is striving.remarking.ember.
I now think it lies on the bank of the north outer ditch, by Feature 6.
It is not directly related to the Causewayed Enclosure, but provides a useful reference point.

I revisited this site on 15/9/26.
Having compared the feature I found to Lidar, I now believe it to be a distinct feature not directly related to the Causewayed Enclosure, but I have identified its exact location on What Three Words, which enables me to conclude that the path I previously said runs between the inner and outer banks, actually runs along the outer ditch of the outer bank.
I am relabelling the relevant pictures accordingly.
