Sunday, 23rd June 2002

Three lovely stones all in a row. This is a very nice little alignment. I probably only say 'little' after have been to Castlelanaght (County Cork) earlier in the day.

The row is 6m in length and the tallest stone is over 2m tall, which is at the east end of this east-west alignment. The west most stone is leaning slightly.

On the two terminal stones there are some curious, almost geometric, scratches that look very similar to some rare petroglyphs I once saw a photo of. I will check these out.
