Bwlch-y-Ddeufaen

Standing Stones

Apparently.... the scene of a mythical ‘domestic disagreement’ between a couple of giants back in the day. “How far is it STILL to Anglesey? Right, that’s it! YOU can carry all these bloody stones!! ....”

A really nice woven natural wreath that a fellow pagan had obviously put there for the winter solstice, full of beautiful coloured willow and dogwood and other stems. Others may disapprove but personally we think it’s lovely to see that these sites still generate veneration and this is marked by secret others. All biodegradable and just adds to the place we reckon

On a visit a couple of days ago, it really seemed that the capstone has in fact cracked into two and the smaller piece fallen off it’s upright causing the whole capstone to collapse inward. This would not have been recently, but many many years ago. But the texture of the faces on the stone on the ground, the matching surfaces and the way it could have looked when intact seemed very possible – and once we saw it we couldn’t unsee it.

Coomnahorna East

This pair of stzanding stones is located on the lower southeast slopes of Cahernageeha, just west of the Coomnahorna river.
The stones stands 4m apart in a northeast-southwest line. The taller stone, at SW, is 1.75m high, the second stone rises to a high of 1.45m.

Some 275m to the northeast lies the four-stone row at Garrough.

To visit the site turn right from the N70 (Ring of Kerry) while driving towards Waterville, just after the Caherdaniel Post Office in a northeast direction. Drive for about 1.5 km, here the road turns to west. You can see the stone pair in a field to your left.
