I've read that the entrance was sealed in 2600BCE with megaliths forming the body of an ox (one of the Goddess' forms)- symbol of resurrection. Can't really make that out in the photo. I will need to visit the site some day.

If you haven’t already, then please do, it’s a must and really makes you think about its use. The modern reconstruction has left nearly 12 metres of central passage, and the chambers are sealed but partly accessible.

And try and go very early in the morning when you stand more of a chance of having the place to yourself!

Yeah, you won't clash with a coach load of Americans or others. Not That they shouldn't visit our great sites. It's just that there is no way you can appreciate it when it becomes like a school outing.
