Yet another standing stone incorporated into a field wall, and once again right by the road. This 1.9m tall (when measured from the field, not the road) stone is slender, but bumpy and lumpy with nice veins running down one side. It has a groove in the top making it quite phallic when looked at from within the field.
If you move a little way down the road you can see the conical top of Slemish, just poking over the false horizon created by the intervening hills, to the southeast. This would seem to be an obvious reason for selecting this location.

As I drove past this stone I was surprised to see a new bungalow on the opposite side of the road. I decided to stop and get a GPS reading from it and to take a look at the views. The disused farm buildings to the south of the stone block the best view, which includes Slemish Mountain.
The stone and its circumstances have changed little in the last 5 or so years. It still has a loop of rusty barbed wire around it.

From Clogh Mills take the B94 south to Clogh and the turn left along the B64. After 3km you come to a cross roads. Turn left and continue until you come to a farmhouse on the left hand side after 1.5km. The stone is a few metres past these buildings.
