Yet another Carlow grooved stone. This one is tall and slender and stands over 2.5m tall. The grooves in this are very shallow, nohere near as deep as most of the others of this type.

A wonderful stone with great presence - if you can ignore the new house that has been built just 50m away from it!

Directions

From Boris take the R702 north for about 5km until you are approaching a sharp left bend. Just before the bend (not on the bend) turn right and continue for about 900m. On your right you will come to a new two storey house and the stone is in the next field along.
