Greengraves, county Down:
"The Kempe Stones"
The picture shows the common method of roofing portal-tombs with two capstones, a large one supported at the rear by a smaller one which rests on the backstone of the chamber.
This tomb also has a fine door-stone typically reminiscent of the traditional Irish 'half-door' which has now disappeared along with the cottages which had them.
