Camster Long

Antechamber floor and outer portals viewed from main chamber.
This photo shows the exposed inner "display" surfaces of the antechamber portal stones, it also shows that these stones play no part
supporting the chamber or passage roofing slabs, the area above them is simple walling.
The portal stones are both 1.1m tall, their outer edges embedded in the sidewalls.
In the background, the paving slabs of the outer passage are visible, although this area was heavily damaged before excavation,
the paving stones are the originals.
