A rear view of the largest of Irish wedge-tombs, known as "The Hag's Bed"
(Leaba Caillighe, referring to the Hag aspect of the Triple Goddess)
showing the massive roof-stones and the three "buttress-stones" at
the back. It is covered with three huge roofstones.
The three stones in the left foreground are part of the kerb which was designed
to show off the buttress-stones in a kind of "rear-court".
The megalith resembles a French
gallery-tomb in size and design, a similarity shared by the wedge-tomb
at Burren, Cavan.
There are two closing-slabs at the front of the tomb with a deliberate gaps
on each side.
