Another enigma for you. Why has this flat rock got a name? Most odd.
It stands, or rather squats, at a bend in the road and is said to get its name from the fact that it used to be used as a card table by some old men - Dailteen derives from a word for 'layabout' or something.
It is around 70cm high and has a flat surface measuring 1.8m x 2m.

To reach The Piper's Stones (County Wicklow) and its neighbours you need to park by this stone. As I was walking past it I noticed a small bullaun in its upper surface. The bullaun is a very small one, just 5cm deep and 10-15cm across.

_From the N81 turn into Hollywood. Continue along the R756 for 2.3km after Hollywood and there is a road upto Toor on the right. Follow this and turn right at the t-junction. Continue around until you are by a red brick house on the left. You should see the stone in front of you.
