Saturday, 23rd June 2007

I felt quite guilty that I'd seemed to have got the lady out of bed at the farmhouse. It was 10:30am, so I didn't expect that. She graciously gave me directions to the stones, though, so she obviosly wasn't too put out by my arrival.

This six-stone stoe row is now incorporated into a field ditch. It is aligned northeast-southwest and is 8m long. The stones are an odd arrangement. Starting from the southwest they are two rough stones, a squared off stone, a small pointy stone, another squared off stone and then another small pointy one. The last one is hidden behind a tree, so I didn't see it at first.

The field boundaries are all lined with tall trees here, which block most of the views. It does not appear that the row points at anything in particular. The view eastwards towards the Monavullagh Mountains is really nice.
