Home  > Shortly before 6am on the 21st of March, a crowd gathers outside the entrance of Cairn T, the largest passage tomb on Sliabh na Callaigh at Loughcrew. 

After a clear, moonlit night hopes are high for a stunning sunrise. To everyone's dismay however, the strong winds blow rain clouds closer and closer, soon engulfing the dawn watchers in sleet and howling rain.
Home  > More than half an hour after sunrise, patches of light form where clouds begin to clear, a small window appears and sunlight burns through at last.
Home  > The crowds have been taking turns to enter the cairn, now those outside strain to catch a glimpse of sunlight inside the chamber.
Home  > Small bursts of sunlight appear and vanish in fleeting moments.
Home  > Inside the heart of the chamber, one onlooker stares fixated at the patch of light formed on the backstone of the rear recess.
