This is sad news if it is true

11th June 2010. I received an email recently from Lisa Dunne conncerning this portal tomb. On a recent visit to the tomb Lisa had found to her dismay that the portal tomb had been knocked down. The tree which stood next to the tomb had been felled. I will try to find more information about what caused the damage. Thanks to Lisa for allowing us to use her image.

the tree fell on it I presume? Hopefully someone is held to account and covers the costs to have it restored. Very sad to see.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
