Ken Williams > Taken on the Autumn Equinox in 2006, this view is of the passage looking out from the chamber towards the entrance. The beam of sunlight is shaped by the lintels and sill stones into an almost rectangular shape before it reaches the backstone.
Ken Williams > Cairn T sits quietly waiting for the sun to return again, many months from now.
Ken Williams > A rare fresh, sunny morning at Loughcrew on the eve of the equinox. The ruined Cairn V is in the foreground, a small crowd is still gathered outside the entrance to Cairn T.
Ken Williams > The view towards Patrickstown Hill to the east and Co. Meath far below, the sun is emerging from the clouds.
Ken Williams > Here you can see just how strong the projected beam is in the chamber.
