Sunday, 24th February 2008

Situated on the southern slopes of Croghan Mountain overlooking a small NE-SW valley and the early stretches of the Ban River, this stone has fine views. It is around 1.5m tall and triangular when viewed from the south. It does not appear to have been dressed at all.

I wasn't able to get too close to the stone due to the presence of new-born lambs in the fields.
