This tomb is completely overgrown almost exclusively by thick dirty brambles, i could only locate 4 stones through the thicket.

Can anyone shed some light on the date/purpose of the large oval pit in the background, its as if the pit was dug and trees planted at the bottom giving the observer an unusual eye-line with the tree tops, from the tomb ground level. Also the trees form a straight line pointing directly at the center of the tomb. Coincidence maybe?? This effect is best seen on MSN Maps “Birds Eye View”. A second line, this time an embankment recently had a circular ditch and a fenced off tree (NOW DESTROYED!!!) in the south-west of the building site, which now holds 3 large piles of massive stones. I’d appreciate any feedback on these (probably wacky:) theories....

I have noticed these curious stones in 3 distant sites now, with the natural granite line always orientated north south. This is more curious as the tooled notch faces precisely west.

This is a picture of Seefin on New Years Eve 2008, with the glare of the winter sun behind the site looking south towards the most northerly point of Pollaphuca Reservoir in Wicklow. Hope the frost makes it a worthy addition.
