These stones really are a treat. For one thing they are in a very surprising location i.e. at the end of a low cairn which has some traces of quartz stones dotted about its surface.
There are three stones in a row across the east edge of this cairn. They are all water rolled stones giving them no edges for the ogham to be written along and so you have to insert your own vertical line to see the characters.
The south-most stone is plane, but the other two have quite plain writing on them. The complete egg-shaped one reads GOSSUCTTIAS and the split one reads ISCUNAS or GAMICUNAS (Weir).

The field in which these stones stand has the curious name of "Pairc na Foladh", which means 'the Field of Blood'.
