These five stones are known as 'The Six', which is confusing as you approach, but then you realise that one has, sadly, fallen. I was surprised at where these stones were. I had imagined them to be on a steep slope for some reason, I'm not sure why. I actually thought I'd have a lot to say about them because of this, but, to be honest, it's thrown me a bit. Nearby plantations hide the immediate terrain, but they actually stand on a low spur. The Boggeragh Mountains rise up to the west, the Nagles occupy the northeast horizon and the rest is very open.
The stones are all very different in shape and height. The tallest is over 6ft tall and the profile of one of them reminded me of a mini Long Meg (an outlier at a stone circle in Cumbria).
I though at first that the row pointed directly at Gowlane North (County Cork), but this is not the case.
