Image of Gurteen (Standing Stone / Menhir) by bogman

At least 12 feet tall as you can see from my helmet, this impressive stone is well worth visiting and easy to get to from the road

Gurteen

This substantial stone stands 2/3 fields, (around 300 metres) to the South West of Gurteen Circle.
I couldn’t for the life of me see an easy way down that didn’t involve lots of gorse and plenty of water. So I had to content myself with a couple of shots from the field up above.
Looking on the National Monument website – it gives the following – 3.8m tall 1.1m wide 1m depth
There must be an easy way. After all, the cows got in there !
