Yes.

As far as I am aware there are a dozen or so around the Black Mountains (NOT the Black Mountain).

Using imagination and rumour the number goes up to around 20.

Boffins believe that this demonstrates the most westerly expansion of court tomb building culture into Wales.

Aren't you a Dyfed lad Kammer? So you'll be in a position to confirm or deny the lack of court tombs in that area.

Yet oddly court tombs don't occur on the east coast of Ireland. The original category of Carlingford/wassit tombs is a much better one.

Sort of. Really a Hertfordshire lad living in Ceredigion.

It's true what they say. No court tombs here. In fact, in Ceredigion we're rather short of tombs in general.
