GaelicLaird visited on 11th Jan 2021 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 2 Only one stone remains of the pair. No visible trace of the second stone. Watch out for bullocks. The farmer who has the land to the west of the stones through which I gained access is a friendly fella, happy for me to cross his land, simple request of "please close the gate after you ".
A pair of standing stones on a low knoll, in rough pasture, on E side of Martin River valley. SW stone is fallen; it measures 1m L, 0.5m T and, if erect, over 2m H. Second stone stands 2m to NE; it is 1.07m L, 0.5m T and 1.17m H. Stones appear to have been aligned NE-SW.

After an abortive attempt to reach the stones, I thought I would record how far I got so someone else wouldn't need to try the other 6 ways I attempted! From Blarney, take Station Road leading to Rocky Road. After the turning on your right that leads to the campsite, (you ignore it and go straight on) take the next L down a narrow dead end by the green hand water pump. Follow this down to the bottom to the gate. Leave the transport there, and that's as far as I got. Another 420m to go through the gate and push through the nettles on an over grown track should get you there!
