frogcottage42 visited on 25th May 2010 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 2 Good menhir and good marker for tomb at Canrooska/Barraboy mountain
Approx. 2.7m high by 1m x 1.2m it is a prominent feature on the skyline but is not visible from the South where the land is higher.
Only reachable by trekking 400m across rough pasture but worth a look on route to the wedge tombs at Canrooska/ Barraboy mountain.
