These stones are no longer where they appear on the OS map. They no reside in a little private cemetery enclosure in the same field. The key to the enclosure can be obtained from the farm house opposite and they are more than happy to allow you access. You will probably be treated to the following information too.
The stones are broken and can not be read. The current farmer's father spent a long time searching looking for the missing pieces of stone but to no avail. Several antiquities societies used to visit it until they realised that they were unreadable.
The stones are quite beautiful and the land owner would like to re-erect them again. The Ogham, although incomplete, is very clear.

Both stones fell in the same year and were moved to the enclosure for protection. They were stacked one on top of the other by a local priest (now deceased) for use as an altar during his anual mass at this location.
