This pair of huge stones point directly at Dunbeacon (County Cork) on the hill above. Unfortunately there is now a telegraph pole in the direct line of site.

The taller of the two stones is an amazing 4m+ tall, the shorter on is 3m+ tall. The stones are of the same type as those that make up the stone circle and so are probably part of the same 'grander monument'.
