Sunday, 9th December 2001

I was totally knocked back by the sheer scale of this giant. This is a huge stone. At over 2.5 m tall and 1.5 m in diameter it must weigh a lot. This is probably Wexford's biggest standing stone. An absolute monster!

This is a very huggable stone indeed but you would have to be a giant to get your arms around it.
