Visit Notes

Sunday, 21st October 2001

This stone will always hold great memories for me. It introduced me to two great people, the people that live at The Parsonage, the house that has this stone in its grounds. It is not possible to see the stone itself from the road.

The stone itself is about 1.4m tall, 80 cm wide and just 20 cm deep. Its thin edge is north-south aligned.

If you visit this stone be sure to ask the people if you can look at it, I'm sure they'll oblige as they are very proud to have it and quite rightly so.

From Dunleer take the R170 east and then the R166 north. After 1.5km take the first right. 700m along on the left you will see a large house with quite a long drive. The stone is in their front garden, but not really visible from the road.
