The capstone of this chambered tomb is now on the ground just like the Kilmichael Cairn, although the cap stone has only been removed for the last 4 years. Also looking at other pictures I have of this Cairn, I noticed strange markings that look man-made and could be Ogham, so I need to go back and have another look. If you look on the right stone at the top there is a crack which looks like an X - it looks too perfect to be a crack but you never know.
