Loughcrew - Cairn V Cairn V, to the south-east of Cairn T, is about 10 meters in diameter, and has kerbstones and orthostats remaining, but no cairn stones. It is difficult to make out which way the passage is oriented; Brennan thought it was to the winter solstice sunrise. A large stone stands a meter from the kerb on the northwest side. Engravings can be made out on four of the remaining chamber stones. Conwell found a 'long rounded white sea-pebble, which from appearances, may have been used as a sling-stone, or a hammer' by this stone. |
