The OS map has a single stone marked here and the inventory only lists one, too. There are two stones, however, separated by a field wall.
The western stone is a smooth, quartz-veined slab about 1.6m tall. The other is a nobbly conglomerate stone with loads of lumps and bumps and interesting pebblesstuck in it.
They are situated on a gentle west-facing slope with views to the east obscured. To the west the Monaghvullagh Mountains dominate and to the north the lone peak of Croughaun Hill is wonderful.
The farmer told me of other stones that used to be scattered about the surrounding land and a nice tale about his mother using the smooth standing stone as a signalling device. When the farm labourers were out in the fields, before they had watches, she used to place paper over the top of the stone to let them know when food was ready.
