Nice pics Anthony,
Do we know of any other Portal Tombs that are aligned to significant events.
I cant think of any off hand.


There's Onagh - http://www.megalithomania.com/show/image/5741/Onagh.htm

However, it's not about direct alignment. Too much emphasis is about direct alignment. Most portal tombs face due-east, so they're bound to align with at least the equinox sunrise. More study needs to go into what other alignments there are from the site in the way of notches & peaks etc.

Proleek was rebuilt and so its true alignment is uncertain. It's also a tough one to determine which way it faces. I have it in my head that the front is east facing and Sleive Gullion is definitely to the northwest.

I kinda figured that could be said about a lot of Portal Tombs.
Plus I agree with you about notches peaks etc.

Poor Onagh looks a mess.
