Tomb 49

 

Above is tomb 51, also known as Listoghil, the only tomb definitely covered by a cairn and also the largest in the cemetery. Over the last few years work has been carried out on this huge cairn, exposing the chamber pictured above, which now has a public viewing platform built around it.
