This may or may not be a genuine standing stone. It is certainly not marked on the OS maps. What struck me about it is that it is in a direct line between Fairy Castle on the top of Two Rocks Mountain and Howth.

Directions

From the R113 in south Dublin follow the signs for the Wicklow Way and park in the car park at O150 245. Follow the Wicklow Way until you are nearly at the top of Two Rocks around the west side. You will see a path leading east towards the television mast on Three Rocks Mountain. Head for these and you will come to a very stoney path up to the cairn. The stone is about half way up this track 50m or so to the right.
