Another site in impressive surrounds. This standing stone at the end of a road that is a cul de sac up in these mountains. There is a viewing sport with a carpark and the stone is less than 500m from the standing stone. I understand there is some very beautiful scenery in the hills around here for hill-walking.
This impressively situated pair of standing stones are at the end of a track leading from a sheep farmers farmyard / house. This is real sheep farming company so not really the kind of place for bringing a dog.
The standing stones are both about 1.8m high. On fourwinds website it reckons it found signs of an unrecorded stone circle in the vicinity.
A small (in height) stone row of redish sandstone (I think). It may be that some of the height is lost in the bog below. It is signposted from the nearby stone circle.
This stone circle is situated in the beautiful Nire Valley. The Valley is a real hidden gem south of Clonmel town. The drive from the Bulmers factory in Clonmel over the mountains down into the valley is like being transported to another world only 10 minutes from (realitive) civilisation.
There is a forest path all the way to the circle is it is easy to find. Im not sure if I would drive all the way in, I parked at the edge of the forestry and walked about 15mins to it.
This site seems to be visited quite a bit from the fire that had been made in the middle of it. You may not want to meet the people that did this.
