Ballachnecore

Fallen lintel stone from the east.
It is fairly rare for lintel stones to survive in robbed tombs like this, probably because they are a handy size and can just be lifted off once all the cairn
material has been robbed away. The lintel is a substantial stone, 2.25m long and almost a metre wide, there would have been many of these stones
forming the roof of the chamber.

(Ranging pole 1m long).
