The 3D views below are stereo pairs
adjusted for crossed eye viewing.
These can be viewed with the naked eye, but as with our parallel viewing, the
technique takes a little getting used to.
If you have not viewed images like this
before, or are having trouble seeing in 3D,
consult our 3D Viewing Help Page for tricks, tips and information.
View northwest along the passage.
The "drum" of the cairn core is in the background and the modern "V" cutting
through the cairn casings
reveals the outer section of the passage. Note the height of the grassed area
either side of the path, this
is the platform that surrounds the cairn and once probably buried the modern
entrance area.
Here we see the entrance area and outer
passage section in detail.
The side edges of the original passage entrance are visible at the bottom of the
modern stairway, and the first surviving edge-set lintel can be seen
above the modern door below the cairn core. The space between these two features
was roofed with similar lintels as late as 1896.
The outer face of the primary casing can be seen exposed on the left side of the
original passage entrance the stone layer in front of this is
the secondary casing.
View SE along the roofless outer passage
section.
The seating surface for the missing lintel stones makes a very obvious ledge in
the left-hand walling. This view makes it very clear
that the passage entrance would have been buried under the secondary casing and
platform if these were intact in this area.
The entire cairn viewed from the SE.
Note how the modern pathway
cuts through the platform.
