These two stones, standing about 1.4m high are set back from the N81 about 30m in a field. The left most is quite pointed and the right stone has a flat top. This is a fairly typical arrangement in this area. The locals tend to have christianised them into 'Adam & Eve' stones, and they obviously have a male/female meaning. When the road is quite the stones exude a presence that can be felt even 30m away by the road side. I could not get closer as the field had sheep in it and in these times of F&M I did not want to enter.
I was moved to reflect in the light of the recent terrorist acts in America about the need for the world to harmonise and coexist as these two stones have done for thousands of years.

_I revisited these stones to show them to a friend. I found a much better place to photograph them from but had no film in my camera at the time. I will return when (or if) the snow falls.

Whilst passing nice and early I decided the beautiful sunny weather was perfect for capturing these two charismatic stones again. I think the photos from today turned out well.
The difference in these stones in sunny weather is quite dramatic, they were almost shining themselves today.

_I was having a disappointing day having failed to find a local barrow, so I decided to visit this enchanting stone pair. The main purpose of the visit was to check out the Slade of Saggart from the stones and to get some new photos.

_Follow the N81 from Dublin and turn onto the N82. The stones are in a field to the left just after the second turning on the left.
