The re-erected stones of Ballaharra, now at St. John’s. They could not be re-erected into their correct positions because the local Women’s Institute wouldn’t allow their rose-bed to be moved! The stones were exposed by sand quarrying about a mile down the road towards Peel.

This site, also known as the Giant’s Grave, is in the corner of a field which currently has some horses in it. The nearest stone has recently been damaged (a chunk knocked off it), and the earth between the stones eroded down a couple of inches – presumably by the horses wandering through. The hedge on the left has also been trimmed severely recently, and this I am told has revealed another couple of large stones.
