I was flicking through a book called 'Reading the Irish Landscape' in a bookshop and saw some great old photos of sites like Boleycarrigeen (before the plantation, the views are stunning as expected!) and one of Poulnabrone before the restoration work in the 80's. On what I would call the 'North' side there is only one side stone, the portal stone is missing. I had read that this stone was fractured and need some work done on it, but in this photo it looks like there was no stone there.
Has anyone got more photos of the tomb before the restoration? I'd love to see them and also find out if the portal thats there now is original or not.
