Image of Salachary Stones (Standing Stones) by winterjc

We found these stones on the hillside near the Salachary Stones. We are not sure if they are a natural featue or neolithic monuments, as we can find no reference to them anywhere.

These stones are just “round the corner” from Kintraw.

No views to Jura from here though as higher ground lies to the E, S and W.

There is parking available just to the E of the access track.

Salachary Stones

A friend and I visited this site in Feb. 2000. We drove (probably shouldn’t have) half way up the track which leads to this place and used the map to take us across the rough bit of moor land after the track. This is well worth it. These are three very weathered, rough and spooky looking stones, which were aligned in a NNW to SSE line.
Today the alignment is not the aesthetic feature that grabs you – it’s the spookily, comic way they now are. The N stone stands upright like a tooth, the middle stone is at an outrageous gravity defying angle and the S stone lies recumbent.
There is a feeling of power here, high up in the moorland.
