Looking from the rear of the chamber, straight through it and directly at Parknabinnia (Cl. 67) in the red box. I’ve blown up the original shot to be completly sure!

Leana (Cl. 68)

Visited 22/5/18: Having just visited Parknabinnia we spotted a small group of people at what appeared to be another wedge tomb on a high point on the other side of the narrow road. It was a beautiful morning so a pleasure to make our way slowly towards them looking at all the wild flowers (mostly orchids) on the way.

I think we were sort of hoping the group would have moved on by the time we reached the wedge tomb but they were engrossed in drawing and measuring the tomb. We could also see it was the same small group we had had a happy chance encounter with the previous day – an archaeologist named Ros and three American students. As with the day before, Ros was helpful and generous with the information he gave us – am very grateful, as our two encounters enhanced our own visits tremendously.
