Sarsfields Rock

Rocky Outcrop

bawn79 Aug 14, 2007

From on top of this rock you can clearly see the standing stone of Longstone.

themodernantiquarian.com/site/7744/longstone.html

The Rock itself is a massive natural landmark and this combined with its views of the surrounding hills and the fact there is a church dedicated to St. Bridget beside make me think that it may have had some importance dating back to pre-christain times.
