Across from the chamber we all noticed an odd hole in the ground just a few feet in front of the large house foundation. | ||

Michael lay down in the mud and thrust his digital camera into the hole and took this picture, something no one else had ever done. To everyone's surprise it was a stone-lined mini-chamber with its own lintel, about a meter wide and half a meter deep. Maybe it was a Celtic doghouse. | ||

Here is the standing stone mentioned earlier. The people on the left are not praying, they are waiting to catch my wife, Gloria. A curious feature of this stone is that when you stand with your hands on it in the position Gloria is in you can feel a strong pull to the left. Depending on the person this ranges from a mild tug to a force strong enough to toss you aside. | ||

Our guide Lee stands next to the megalith. It is weathered and bedecked with lichen on all sides and there's no way to tell if it's been there a hundred years or a thousand. Nevertheless, we are all very grateful to Lee for taking the time to show us this fascinating site. | ||
