bat400 visited on 13th Jul 2019 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 A short drive from the famous Glendaloch site, mostly on small roads.
The stones are not particularly large: at a distance estimated to be no taller than a meter. As of July 2019 they are hidden by the hedgerow when driving to the site. Fortunately a cut for a pasture gate provides a good view.
