Looking east. The old shot in the 1972 published Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland, Vol. III shows a much less overgrown arrangement of stones.

What looks like any old field clearance is actually a continuous line of three socketed orthostats and some loose boulders.

Cupmarks on the most westerly stone. I haven’t seen these mentioned in any of the published literature.

It really is messy here, alongside the pristine, newly-laid farm track. Looking roughly north-west.

Could be the rear of the chamber in an east-west aligned wedge tomb.
