Visit Notes

This one is not marked on the map, but you can't miss it whilst driving past. It is a short (1.2m), squat and stocky thing, that quite wonderfully seems to look totally different from every angle.

If you stand by the stone and look past the big, horrible farmhouse you can see the beautiful volcanic core that is Slemish on the horizon. A great location!
