The front (W) end of the chamber is partly closed by a large slab which leaves a gap at the N side.
You can see the sad extent of the damage to the huge single roof-slab when a large bonfire was lit on the roofstone
to celebrate a Hurling victory in 1955. At the beginning of the 20th century the intact roofstone was split
by an earlier bonfire.

Some thirty years later the tomb has been less than half-heartedly preserved
- here photographed by Ken Williams.
