sithean: artificial mound or small hill; a prehistoric burial place or barrow, in the Highlands associated with a dwelling- or meeting-place of the fairies.

I know we like this sheltered slope of the barrow for courting.

But can you not hear that discordant fairy tinkling?

Cutaway.

For anyone not familiar with the convention. A cutaway is where an object is sliced through and the surface area taken away so that the drawing shows the interior that would otherwise be hidden.

My childhood was spent poring over the Eagle comic where every week there was a fantastic full page cutaway drawing of a plane, train or spaceship. Happy days. Top artwork all round.
