Saturday, 10th August 2002

This was a nice wet end to the day. To reach these ogham stones you have to go along a dirveway to a stately home. This is quite bizarre and beautiful in an odd kind of way.

There are seven ogham stones here, five of which are standing up and the other two are cigar-shaped ones. These look like giant black torpedos and the inscription is very hard to see.

The upright ones, however, are good and range from 0.5m to 1.2m in height.

Just to the rear of them is a small cross slab and mini bullaun stone.

These are very easy to access and well worth a visit if you're in the area.
