From over the hedge – the second stone is to the left.
Great that this has withstood the test of time... and the traffic.
An impressive view of Slieve Donard, and the Mourne mountains.
A very impressive pillar of granite indeed. The hedge was a bit overgrown on my visit.
Headed out to visit Wateresk portal tomb on a crisp October morning, but due to heavy ploughing activity going on in the surrounding field, I decided to pay this stone a visit instead. I’m glad that I did. Quite close to a couple of modern bungalows, just west of Slidderyford bridge on a slight bend in the lane, and incorporated into a scruffy hedge. There is another, fallen stone of megalithic proportions hidden from view amongst the undergrowth. According to the DoENI Environment and Heritage Service website, this could be the remains of a tomb.
