Loughcrew Equinox - 20th September 2009 Loughcrew Cairn T - Equinox Sunrise Staff from the OPW (Office of Public Works) were in attendance at Cairn T, Loughcrew on the morning Sunday the 20th of September. All those who made the effort to get up early on a Sunday morning were rewarded by a glorious sunrise that illuminated the backstone inside the chamber of Cairn T. Clare and Leontia arranged an orderly queue both sides of the entrance and allowed groups of 5 or 6 to enter from alternative sides. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and everybody got to spend time in the chamber and witness first hand the illumination of the backstone.
