Visit Notes

Sunday, 27th August 2006

This 2.2m tall stone has a curious profile. When viewed from the south it looks like someone 'giving the finger'. I assume that someone tried to destroy the stone at some time, because the top is very jagged, while the rest of the stone is very smooth.

To the southeast of the stone there is a bulbous rocky outcrop (now hidden trees) that is very similar to the one that can be seen from Knockeen (County Waterford).

The farmer was happy enough for me to visit the stone, but the bullocks that share the field with the stone weren't too happy for me to be there.
