Description and History – This standing stone is huge and it really did loom out of the fog as I approached it. It is roughly 3.5 meters high and is aligned N-S. It stands between the hill Ardaghlooda and the ancient trackway Cladh na Leac and is surrounded by a system of ancient fields and hut sites. It appears as if this stone was of some importance at some point. It leans now but is still very impressive.
Difficulty – Getting to this stone can be a little tricky. It is in the field behind Circle C and that field can get boggy. Also, the amount of stones in the field with the stone means you need to watch your step.
