Visit Notes

Sunday, 6th July 2003

This is one of two stones named Clogh Padraig in this area, which lie along the Croagh Patrick pilgrimage route.

This one is over 3m high and is very slender. I only saw it from the road - it was getting late and I needed to get home. I think I'll be back though to see this properly as well as the other one and the rock art at Boheh 2.5km to the west.
