When I pulled up in the car at the church car park my heart gave a little leap. These stones are perched on one side of a little valley and the car park is at the lower end of this, so the stones stand proud upon the ridge top. A startling sight.
There are three hugely tall stones here now. The smallest is a whopping 2.4m tall, the tallest is 4.2m !!! They are each tall, skinny stones, which are evenly spaced and inserted into cracks in the bedrock.
A fourth stone lies broken nearby and a fifth stone that was once here was moved to the Somerville Estate in Castletownsend.
As I walked up to them there was a congregation of bullocks by the stones. One of them payed particular attention to my approach, but trotted off when I made various 'Gerroutofit' type noises. However, lurking in their midst was a bull, who eventually decided that I'd been there too long and charged straight at me. I am so happy that no one had a video camera nearby to capture me scrambling up and over a rocky outcrop at a fair old rate of knots.
