What a great threesome these stones make. They are not actually an alignment (or maybe they are) but they sit quite unassumingly in a triangular island at a fork in the road.
There are some stories to how these ended up here that I will add later.
Head south from Drogheda along the R108 and take the fourth left about (6km) after where the R150 crosses. Continue for about 1.8km and you will reach these stones.
These stones were alledgedly thrown from Tara by Finn MacCool (Fionn MacCumhaill) and are known locally as The Jack Stones.
