Enclosure in Cahergal (headford Ed.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Cahergal is an oval enclosure on a south-facing hillslope in County Galway, measuring 58.1 by 40 metres and marked by a grassed-over stony bank. A burial ground occupies its north-west quadrant while an altar sits in the south-west, suggesting the site served both the living and the dead. People may have walked this slope for seasons, placing offerings beside the dead and watching the sun trace the bank’s edge.
