One of the lovely sites we visited was Clontygora (awesome tomb) and happened to chat to the bloke who owns the field its in, who lives in the house straight up the field.
In that field are 7 standing stones in a oval which I notice FW has said on megalithomania 'someone had built', so is the thinking that these are modern?

Now the nice man in the house said Clontygora was part of a line of 3 tombs, the main Court Tomb, the standing stones and what was the largest of the 3 in another field behind the house up the hill slightly. The largest was mostly destroyed to provide stone for Newry canal. There is a standing stone still there and a slight mound (all we could see from the road).
To complicate matters a local from warren point took me up into ravendale woods (bit further round the hill) and showed me something identical to the 'middle tomb'. Apparently there are 4 or so more things in the woods but we couldn't find them this time. One of those has the stones with a mound in the middle of it...
Are they circles? Remains of tombs? Entirely modern?
Was this the Ravensdale circle? http://www.megalithomania.com/show/site/226
According to tradition, this was built by Lord Clermont - the same bloke that robbed the decorated stones from this tomb (http://www.megalithomania.com/show/site/231/Black+Mountain.htm) to built a gazebo!
