Congrats on finding the 'proper' Brittas stones. I've never managed it and had given up hope - settling for the two I'd discovered instead. I'll be off down there one night now to take a looksee.

If you're still around now – head up towards the back of the field on the east side of the stream and then cross over. That's where they are. The one with the double is very beautiful!

I can barely see the hills from my window so good luck on Keadeen. :-)

I found the 'new' stones very easily. They seem to have been cleared recently - I know I walked that path once looking for them! I also found and cleared one of 'my' bullauns, but the long sausage-shaped one eluded me, because of the high (yet thankfully dying) bracken. I'll head back in late November and clear it.

The walk up Keadeen was amazing - how many cairns can you see at 675m? The sun was lighting up The Brusselstown Ring beautifully and I (hopefully) got some great photos of it from above. Sadly, when I got close to the top of Keadeen the cloud closed in and I couldn't see a feckin' thing. When I was halfway down again it cleared! Sonofabitch!
