Clontygora - Chluainte Gabhra, the meadow of the goats -is located at the foot of Anglesey Mountain overlooking the flat plains of Meigh towards Slieve Gullion. The court tomb, which is over 6,000 years old, is known locally as 'The King's Ring', and is an impressive monument despite damage in the past. In the eighteenth century stones were removed from the tomb to build the first lock on the Newry Canal, in the nineteenth century to construct the quay at Narrow Water, and in more recent years to build field boundary walls.

The forecourt is the most impressive feature of the tomb and is defined by very large upright stones known as orthostats. The tallest of these are near the centre of the forecourt and stand over 2.75 m high. The ruined burial gallery consists of at least two, probably three, chambers and, as in Ballymacdermot Cairn (2), some roofing slabs still survive. Very little remains of the stone cairn which once would have covered the tomb, but the first burial chamber is quite well preserved and is almost 3m wide. Stone has been robbed from the second chamber, and also from a third chamber, leaving it with no existing surface remains at all; evidence of this third chamber was revealed only by excavation, the below-ground archaeological record showing evidence of burials and earlier stone structures. During excavation of the tomb in 1937 small fragments of human bone were recovered from the burial chambers, with Neolithic pottery and flint, including three fine leaf-shaped arrowheads.

Folklorist George story which recalls the once majestic tomb: The King's Ring was a grand place once, but they took stones to build the lock on Newry Canal. There was a time when there was music in the ring. It was quare music, one minute it would coax the heart out of you, and the next it would scare the living daylights out of you. Maybe it is laments for the oul' kings that are played.

Unlike many other ancient monuments, Clontygora Court Tomb has not been completely destroyed by stone robbers and builders, and it stands as a reminder of our distant ancestors who first created and farmed the fields of South Armagh.
