The farther tomb (Croaghbeg) had a subsidiary single-chamber tomb or kist built in its full forecourt,
which can be better seen farther down the page.
The door-slab of the nearer tomb lies inside the first chamber of the gallery, which is entered through an impressive doorway with a gabled double-lintel.
These tombs command fine views - in this case of the sea and counties Sligo and Mayo to the south -
and both have cyclopean façades and galleries.

 

 

The same tombs almost thirty years later, surrounded by winter bracken - and with a depressing and intrusive modern 'development'.
