Just a pile of stones!

Definitely not just a pile of stones. We went to see these Court tombs from early Neolithic period, in Shalbey, Kilcar Co Donegal. Apparently (as per Michael) they are some of the best court tombs in Ireland, although it is missing its roof. Amazing that they built this without the use of modern hydraulic  equipment.

The island is called Inishduff, in the background (between the court tomb & island) you can just see the outline of Benbulben, that iconic sight in Co Sligo.
The extra is an ancilliary gallery, at the edge of the court.
