Returned yesterday & completed the task, fair few people around with unsupervised kids climbing all over and trying to get into the tomb :mad:

Sun shining on the back of the chamber, recent excavations have caused one of the stones to fall inwards blocking some of the sunlight

Tom tried to fix that

Some rock art
