Backstone of Loughcrew Cairn T, the Hag's Cairn.
The cairn is of similar design to
Newgrange on a smaller scale.
Described as a passage tomb, the wonderfully decorated backstone shows that the cairn has a clear astronomical purpose.
A beam of light from the rising sun around the time of the equinox (March and September) is mapped on the backstone of the cairn.
