Description Overview from the East, looking along main axis of the chambered long barrow. The "C" marks the position of the largely destroyed chamber close to the western end of the barrow. As both narrow sides are not preserved, the original length cannot be exactly determined, but probably it measured 30m. The width varies from 6m to 6,5m. Some kerbstones are damaged by blasting attempts and/ or fallen. February 2010

I have to say thank you Thingy for your comment and also for your great tip regarding the alternative use of film lighting stands.... This is the first one i did with such a stand. This was so much easier than with the previous hand-held equipment. Especially at these slightly arctic temperatures ;-)

You're very welcome Martin. Glad the lighting stand is working out. Your pictures and accompanying text are consistently excellent and now with your elevated camera I suspect you'll be setting an even higher standard for the rest of us to follow. Well done, and keep them coming.

Thanks Thingy, but I just want to contribute to this database. "Setting standards" is neither my intention nor am I able to do so. And no "followers" please, I tend to use wrong directions ;-)
