I posted a news item back in 2010 about the Tirnony Portal tomb. The capstone had fallen so the Northern Ireland Environment Agency planned to have the site excavated before restoring the monument. The Megalithic Monuments of Ireland Facebook page has posted something about the situation along with photos. Wondered if anyone knew when reconstruction will take place.
Extract from MMI facebook post:
Having had the great pleasure of visiting the many wonderful megalithic monuments in the north of Ireland, over many decades, I was shocked when a friend visiting Tirnony Portal Tomb (SMR Number LDY 036:010) recently, found the capstone has not been replaced nearly 2 years after the completion of excavations.
