Promontory fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mortons, Castlederg. Behind the front chamber a narrow passage leads to a smaller chamber and a short side chamber. The walls are built of large, flat slabs set edge to edge. The roof is a cave-like corbelled structure, with stones laid across until they meet in the middle. These are not decorated, but they are precise. Each stone depends on the one below it. The whole room is a calculation of weight and trust.
