Quoyness

The north-east "half" of the main chamber, showing modern roof light.
The entrance from the passage is visible far right, together with the curious shallow "trench" feature running from this
 to the doorway of the northern cell. The walls begin to corbel in above the lintels of the side cells, although they become almost
vertical for the uppermost 1.5m. The oversailing of the wall courses serves to narrow the space to be roofed down to
3.3m x 0.9m. A combination of tilting and the ultrawide lens used for this shot has exaggerated the slope of the walls.

(Ranging pole 1m).
