Visit Notes

Sunday, 18th September 2005

On the way home I decided to make a bit of a detour and visit a couple more Longford sites. This standing stone is situated at the top of a field 200m from the road. The field was full of rather frisky cows, so I made do with taking long range zoom shots from the gate.

Judging from the size of the stone compared with a cow that was standing near to it I would guess that the stone is about 1.5m tall. From the road it looks as though it may be square in section, but I can't say for sure.
