While on the hilltop observing the sunrise inside Cairn H (County Meath) I took the time to look around some of the other cairns. I just caught the sun shining on the topmost sunburst motif on one of the orthostats in the passage of this passage tomb.
These carvings really do seem to come alive when the early morning sun strikes them.
Apart from the fact that the passage and chamber lack a roof, this is a fine example of a passage tomb. The cairn remians to the tops of the orthostats and the passage aligns to Cairn T on Carnbane East.
