Sunday, 3rd February 2002

Somewhat over looked because of the mighty court tomb just 300m away this little (possible) wedge doesn't offer any competition at all.

A small low mound (60cm high) with a few stones protruding out of the soil is all you get here.

Directions

From Newry take the A1 south and cross the border. Take the first left turn after the border and continue along this road. The road takes a sharp left turn after about 3km. Follow the road around and go past Clontygora court tomb to a t-junction. Turn right and then left. The wedge is in a field to the right after about 150m.
