Rockbrook 2 is a solitary stone that sits in a fence about 100m from the road in a paddock. It seems to be in line with the possible alignment at Rockbrook (County Dublin).

A little diversionary stop to see if I could get a better look at this stone. The house next to the paddock where this stone stands is currently empty with decorators doing stuff there so I wandered across to the stone.

It is about 1.4m tall (if straightened) and leans to the south slightly.
