Magheraboy is near you I think:

I would say the sun would rise over land rather than sea.

The Giant's Ring is another place, I couldnt figure out which way the tomb is actually pointing but the sunrise on winter solstice rises directly 'in front' of it.

Ballynoe Stone Circle doesn't really have an accurate alignment but would be a nice spot nonetheless.

If you can trek further south there is a meeting of stone mad folks at Baltray standing stones, moving on to Newgrange, Telltown, Loughcrew, Hill of Ward and then to Dowth where the south chamber is open from late afternoon until just after sunset.
