It's grand, the usual forest clearance, but the tomb is on a natural rise and is above the wreckage. It's such a big site and there's so much to take in that I barely noticed the near surroundings. Even the scorched grass from a fire within the court can't detract from the magnificence of the place.

Must check Boleycarrigeen soon. They were moving up from the south of it the last time I was there.
