| Rockbrook 2 - Rockbrook Village - Standing Stone |
There are two stones at Rockbrook in a field that may have been part of a much longer alignment, perhaps linking up with the stone at Rockbrook 2 (County Dublin). Both are tall, slender monoliths about 1.6m in height.
These are difficult to see from the car due to the wall but hard to miss if on foot. There seem to be two similar stones used as gatepost in the nearby way, marking a now bricked up gatepost.

These stones definitely line up with what I call Rockbrook 2. The north stone is a twisted, slim strange stone some 2m+ tall and the south stone is about 1.8m tall.

Whilst on my way to Larch Hill (County Dublin) with my friends we stopped off not only to admire these twisted stones but to look back on Howth which was now only emerging from the haze.

Whilst driving along the road to get to these stones we noticed a possible seven other stones that may have originated in this alignment. This makes you wonder how long it actually was and if it was just a row or an avenue.

Take the R116 south from Dublin and turn left onto the R113. Rockbrook 2 is in a field to the left after about 200m. Take the next right after Rockbrook 2 to find Rockbrook 1.
