The ancient structure of the "Cairn L" remains a mystery. The most unusual aspect of the monument is a tall pillar stone within the chamber known as the "Whispering Stone." This limestone pillar is two meters tall and gives the impression that the whole chamber and cairn were built to house it. Below is an illustration of the interior. This drawing, from c 1870, is by Eugene Conwell, who discovered the structure.

I was trying to get a better glimpse of this 'whispering stone' still can't figure out which one it is, but found this:

Found it! Within the chamber of Cairn L The art and basin can be seen in the recess to the right, guarded by the Whispering stone, a mysterious limestone pillar. The green is a growth on the stones. Photo Padraig Conway. http://www.carrowkeel.com/sites/loughcrew/cairnl.html

They told their wives they saw the sun disappear during the day and the women said to the Irishman.

YOU WERE DRINKING AGAIN!

Fascinating! We were just at Newgrange and Knowth a few weeks ago.

I found this video on youtube of the sunrise on the Whispering stone, and it slides off at the end to the rock next to it.

I wonder if the ancients thought that magical light or entity as they may have seen it entered that basin there, and if it was full of water now considered as holding a magic spirit?

Or something to do with that light moving across the room and toward that basin with all the cryptic symbols above it. Was their place of wonderment, magic, something...

Thank goodness the Irish aren’t as dangerous as they are annoying.

One more thing. In the stone petroglyph illustration, the shape on the left is the larger circle and so I'm supposing it is the sun. It has a shape from the moon eclipsing it coming from the right but it is shows a CONVEX shape. Is it really the drawing of an eclipse? Below is a photograph of an eclipse. The moon is beginning to cover the sun with a convex shape but the moon is on the LEFT, opposite the cave stone illustration of this supposed eclipse. If the the sun were on the left in an eclipse it would make a CONCAVE shape but this drawing shows what appears to be a larger circle on the left with a CONVEX shape. The only answer I could come up with is are we to believe the body on the left, even though drawn as a larger circle, is supposed to be the moon? Would this represent their importance placed on the moon? Otherwise, this glyph makes no sense.
