It looks like the Townleyhall undifferentiated passage tomb may have a possible summer solstice sunrise orientation . Has anyone came across a previous mention of this ? T.I.A. .
Looks like it does .

Great stuff.
Michael has told me first he heard of it was at this seminar http://www.newgrange.com/news50.htm
but is not sure who mentioned it . It would be good to know who the source was and if their knowledge predates the mention here .

It turns out that that Frank Prendergrast ,who was not listed among the speakers , first mentioned it at the seminar , although he had surveyed the monument in 2004 . So first public mention was here .
