It is really difficult to say what is going on here. The trees planted on top of the tomb and the brambles really do a good job of hiding form and detail.

Directions

Take the R177 from Dundalk north . After about 3.5km the road turns significantly left, continue for just over 1km and take the next left. 500m down this road there is a farm track and the tomb is in a field on the right. The other tomb is supposed to be behind some barns up a track on the opposite side of the road.
