Visit Notes

Sunday, 6th July 2003

I was in too much of a rush to move on from here and there is nowhere convinient to park, so I had to settle for a long distance photograph and a plan to return better prepared.

One massive portal stone appears to be almost standing and a stone leaning against it could be either the other portal stone or the capstone.

The views from here are simply stunningtothe north across to Downpatrick Head and the Atlantic.
