The equinox alignment event at Cairn T, the passage tomb that crowns the hilltop of Carnbane East at Loughcrew. Photographs taken on 20th March 2007.
The spectacle is over for today, the climb to the hilltop in the freezing darkness has been worth it and the small crowd leaves in good humour.
For some, this was their first experience of this piece of stone-age theatre and for others it will be another fine morning to recall of the many. But each year, more and more people gather on this hilltop at the time of equal day and night ensuring that despite the constant weathering and ruination of these magnificent temples, a measure of appreciation and wonderment for these ancient achievements endures over 5,000 years later.
