newgrange monument

i was at the ulster museum the other day and they informed me of this new fact although they had been informed by tellus

that they have discovered large amounts of tin in the mourne mountain range up the coast from you there in monknewtown and you wonder why on earth i am posting such a message on your webpage

well it got me to thinking and wondering i believe monknewtown is the area of bru na boinne monuments of newgrange dowth and knowth and from memory i do recall someone informing me that the colossal monumental stones used to make these tombs were not of your local landscape and that they had been hauled from the sea shore and positioned in situ

but what i am wondering is that some of these stones they say are from the mourne mountain range area

so could someone advise me do they know how many of the monumental stones in knowth dowth and newgrange are from the mourne district area and if possible could you provide a breakdown

ie how many of the total number at dowth are from the mourne rock range

how many of the total number at knowth are from the mourne mountain rock range

how many of the total number at newgrange are from the mourne mountain rock range

thanks pat preliminary findings to be confirmed at a later date

newgrange mound kerbstones number 97 and where the winter dawn solstice enters the chamber the kerbstone has been listed as number 1

Which implies from the orientation of the site that kerbstone 1 =winter dawn solstice which is at approx. 23 degrees south of the equator latitude line

Now could anyone tell me where they would expect the sunrise line on the eastern horizon to occur at summer solstice which numbered kerbstone would the sun alight on can anyone advise who is local to the area
