Visit Notes

Saturday, 5th January 2002

I am still not sure if I found this stone. It is definitely no longer standing anyway. I found two very impressive candidates lying prone at the base of oak trees in the rough location. I believe that one of these is definitely the stone marked on the map as the oaks were the only deciduous trees in this conifer plantation.

Directions

Follow the R115 south from Dublin and park in the car park at O121 237 (there is a big sign saying Hell Fire Club). Right by the entrance to the car park there is a path leading up the hill, follow this about 50 m past the track that crosses it to a large stone. The two candidates I found are in the trees to the left.
