Saturday, 7th July 2007

This huge stone would have been impressive when it stood. Sadly it has fallen and is used by cattle to scratch themselves, now. It is very similar in size and shape to the fallen stone at Boherboy (County Waterford) to the east. It stands on the top of a broad plateau with views in all directions, except the west. These are blocked by the nearby barn and the very gentle slope of the plateau.

The GPS reading given is exactly not for the stone itself, but was taken from the edge of a farmyard, just 10m from the stone.
