Thanks , just done a quick check from the tomb to the summit of Coolfree the declination is very close to solstice sunset the bearing being 227.8 degrees .If the chamber has that orientation ?
It really isn't too far off from observations at the site. It's unusual for a wedge tomb to point so far south, but the one at Cromwell does too (it's not a passage tomb as Derek has labeled it on TMA).
Had a look at this one but despite the view the sun would not set over the Ballyhoura hills at winter solstice but the major winter moon would , about
2.5 Km west of Carron mountain .
