Visit Notes

Saturday, 27th July 2002

I think the Three Brothers went out and got drunk! because they are all now lying on the ground looking very untidy.

Located at the side of a farm track on the brow of the hill, these three stones would have formed an impressive row. The largest stone would have stood at least 2m tall.

Sadly they are now recumbent and do not really warrant a visit.

Directions

A difficult one to find. From Carrickfergus take the B58 north for 2.5km and turn left. When you reach a t-junction turn right and then left. After 1.5km there is a farm track on the left that heads straight up the hill. These three stones are 1km up this lane.
