locality, at the side of a lane, a little to the south of the cromlech, 
one of the stones being eleven feet high. The field in which 
the cromlech stands also contains a souterrain or underground 
dwelling, and the view from the cromlech overlooks the sand- 
dunes of Dundrum, which have yielded such a number of 
worked flints, stone implements, pottery, and other evidences 
of ancient settlements.* 
7 . CLOUGHMORE CROMLECH, GOWARD. 
Sketch No. 7. 
The cromlech known as Cloughmore, on the mountain side, 
in the parish of Clonduff and townland of Goward, is one of 
the largest and best in the county. It is accessible from Hill- 
town or Rathfriland, being two miles from the former and five 
from the latter. It consists of a massive cap stone of granite, 
thirteen feet long, ten feet wide, and five feet thick, weighing 
probably fifty tons, supported by a group of nine other stones 
forming several chambers, the principal chamber being nine 
feet long and three feet six inches wide. One of the front 
uprights is very slender, and stands seven feet high, the complete 
monument being fully fourteen feet high. Local authorities 
state that formerly this cromlech was enclosed by a circle of 
stone blocks or standing stones. They have been long since 
removed, and there is no trace of them existing at present. 
Excavations have been made below the cromlech, and cinerary 
urns, with other evidence of sepulture, were found within the 
main chamber. At present the site is protected by a planting 
of fir trees, and the tenant of the adjoining cottage is the 
honorary caretaker of the cromlech.
