macd visited on 1st Jan 2019 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 I've been here many, many times and love this site. Polite to ask at farmhouse immediately opposite gate. Owner generally doesn't mind visitors so long as gate is closed, as there are often sheep in the field. (No footpath, just walk up field). Very similar to the Piper Stones (Athgreaney) a few miles away, in fact this site is also referred to as the Piper Stones
