At the entrance to the parallel galleries at Cloghanmore. The rain, a seeming regular companion here, beat us back to the car way too soon.
In a deluge, from behind the parallel galleries towards the massive court.
Considering the fact that a large long-barrow and large round-barrow on the hill above seem to “address” the space on which the Long Man stands, 15 years ago I allowed myself to speculate what the view of the Long Man might have looked like 5000 years ago.
I have now used AI to tone down a speculative hill figure from the original.
This is during the Neolithic. The newly created long-barrow can be seen, as well as sky-burials nearby, preparatory to their remains being added to the barrow.
The stone in the foreground here is said to be the backstone of the gallery of an east facing court tomb. You’d never tell, but this end contains the best of what remains.
Looking west down along the shambles that used to be a small court tomb.
What is thought the be the base of the walls of a limekiln lies in the middle of the scant remains here.
The stone in the middle of this shot is a covering lintel over what seem to be two segmenting jambstones. The tomb is overall a wrecked mess.
