Both the circles are fakes, the one up the field from Clontygora looks very modern and the one in Ravensdale is a few hundred years old. There's a much later wedge tomb near Clontygora court tomb also but that's bronze age.

Clontygora is fantastic though isn't it!

Looking forward to seeing the blog, what other sites did you get to in the end?

lol, I did comment to the gf that the stones at clontygora looked a bit new.
Must be the wedge tomb in the field behind the house. There was another random 3 or 4 stones in the garden of a house by a bridge over a stream just to the NE (I think) of clontygora. One of them was huge, so we wondered if that was the remains of something!

Anyhow, we didn't see as much as I'd have liked (never do!) but saw quite a few tombs, plus ballynoe, giants ring, beaghmore. I need to sit down and write them all down tbh.

Sadly your advice of getting to Newgrange early wasn't followed and we couldn't get on a tour and it was our last day. Bah. Next time.

Btw, any idea how old this is?
