Eightercua : Stone Row (Alignment)
Visit Notes
Saturday, 15th September 2007
This site has been on my list of must-see-sites for many years. So, you can imagine how disappointed I was when I saw the bull in the field! If it wasn't a bull it was a big cow.
The four stones stand proudly above the coastal Ring of Kerry road. The tallest is over 3m high and the others reduce in height in order.
I will be back and I will get to actually visit the site properly one day.

About Coordinates Displayed
|
This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide. Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate. Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies. The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out. UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system. ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps. |
