C11. This highly decorated orthostat doesn’t seem to know which way is up! Welch’s 19th century photo shows it the opposite end up shee-eire.com/Sites&Monuments/Passage-tombs/Tyrone/Knockmany/Photos/oldbw2.jpg as described by Coffey (1898) who said he found it face down and re-erected it. In 1928 it was shown to have been turned upside down again, standing as it does now.

Stunning, great work!
I looked at this for quite a while last night. That it is another great photo is a given, it is also an enigmatic, beautiful, puzzling piece of ancient 'art'.
It draws you back ...
