Visit Notes

Sunday, 1st January 2006

Not a very impressive stone to look at, but it does offer quite a view over county Kildare to the west. It also overlooks The Piper's Stones (County Wicklow) stone circle, giving a feel for that site in a way that can't be observed from anywhere else.

The stone is 1m tall, 50cm wide and 15cm think. Its long axis points directly at Athgreany stone circle in the valley below.
