This stone must have quite some history. It is a tall (3.5m) example like those at Punchestown 1 & 2, but it has been transformed into a crude cross at some point.
I had some problem finding this stone but a couple at a nearby house were very helpful in showing me which field it was in. The treck across the very muddy fields was well worth it.

From the centre of Blessington take the R410 towards Naas.Drive through Eadestown and 2.5 km further on turn right at Beggar's End Cross Roads. After about 900m you will come to a new bungalow on the left and a field gate opposite. The stone is through the gate and round a hedge.
