Visit Notes

Sunday, 4th April 2004

This is the first monument you come across along the track leading to Cabragh. At first it's a little tricky to see them, because the road is 2m below the field level at this point. Knowing that they are very close to the double bend helps you find them easily though.

These could easily fit into the Male/Female catagory of stone pairs. The southwestern stone is square in plan and about 2m tall. The northeastern stone is shorter and almost arrowhead-shaped. Standing next to each other the make an unusual couple.

It looks as if the extensive southwesterly views may well disappear, because it looks as if a pine plantation might be planted next to it very soon.
