Summit of Whitestown Farm W Barrow viewed from N.

A bit of zoom, then a hasty retreat as from the sky massive hailstones sent me packing. (for a wee while)

From near the east side of the cemetery before the weather went slightly bonkers.

A wee bit of zoom.

Blundered around trying to find. Eventually asked dog walking local who said he hadn’t ever seen it. Walked away and he halooed me back. It was just there. I walk past it everyday he said. This picture is looking towards the east and the rising sun. Feels like the stone is facing it and has seen the dawn countless times.

Visited here for the first time the other day on a nice two day trip to some sites in east Kent.
Nice vibe here,but a shame about the non-biodegradable “trinkets” on the tree.
I am not against people leaving things and totally understand their reasons behind doing so,but,please,please,please,respect nature and make them bio degradable

Nowhere near as tall as the Devil’s Arrows, but even more eroded

You really can’t miss the permitted path up to the stones. Except we did and had a good mosey around the terrain anyway.

Visited on a late spring afternoon,
April 2nd, 2026,
as the day leaned gently toward evening
and the fields lay quiet beneath softening light.

A humble two-foot rule
was placed beside the fallen stone,
a small human measure
against a relic of older days.

The stone lies prostrate now,
carried from its first standing place,
set down by unseen hands
far from where it once kept watch.
Six feet in length it rests,
1.3 feet across its weathered face,
and 0.8 feet in depth—
a displaced sentinel,
still holding the memory
of the ground where it once stood.

Another shot of the barrow and the lake.

A view of the barrow with Lough Owel in the background.

A view of the 4.04 meter high barrow, from the south west, as one enters the lane which leads to the barrow.

The barrow as viewed from the north.

The prime barrow of the cluster stands imposingly over the beautiful Westmeath landscape! Sadly couldn’t get up to the actual cemetery, but still a great view!

View of fort from North.

Rampart visible from track to the East.

The two burial mounds may be a little hard to see in these photos, but they are easier to see when you are at the site itself.

A large stone lies near the largest mound.
