A panoramic view of the inside, stitched together from five photos
At night, the Plough is visible above and to the right of the mound.
Taken 19th Dec 2004. (Maybe you can make out the plastic green cover they place over the enterance stone at night, currently the only protection this superb carved monument has. You can easily make out the degredation of the carvings from photos only 30 years old...)
