The tombs at Carrowkeel apart from Cairn G have not been aligned to anything apart from most of them pointing towards Knocknarea, the tombs at carrowmore mostly (by no means all) seem to focus on the spot of Listoghill. Baltinglass points almost north and Fourknocks points at nowhere in particular so on balance there are probably as many that dont point at things we would see as significant.

Interestingly, since the current thinking is that the tradition started in Sligo (Carrowmore/Carrowkeel), Martin Byrne from this area gave an interesting talk about the tombs here and also the caves on Keshcorran which allow sunsets to be observed from the back of the caves. He thought perhaps the passage tombs that were built in the area and then further across the country may be an attempt to create 'artificial caves' which single out a sunset/sunrise that was important to those who built the passage, after observing the sunset illuminating the rear of the caves on Keshcorran which may have given rise to ritual practises there at the time of alignment.
