Like the other Punchestown (County Kildare) stone this is enormous. Looking across the field at it it is hard to judge the size. It stands about 4m tall and is quite thick at its base tapering to a point.
It leans slightly to one side and glowing in the sunshine looked like a huge finger pointing west.

With the crops gone from the field we managed to reach this great stone. It might not be as tall or as slim as the more famous stone (see Punchestown (County Kildare) ), but it is still wonderfully massive. Like the other stone it has a diagonal band of quartz running through it - a comon theme amongst the west coast stones.

This was not such a pleasant visit this time around. The field was very, very muddy and our shoes were caked when we got back to the car. The image of the plough lines diverging around the stone though were very picturesque.

From Naas head south down the R411. At the first major cross road turn left and park at the race course entrance. The stone is in the field on the opposite side of the road.
