There is room to park on the R at a gate just after the 50 kph speed limit ends. The stone is 100 yards W from this gate.
Directions: From Killarney take the N72 Killorglin W for 7 km to Fossa. After you pass the Fossa Holiday Hostel on the R you will reach the 60 kph speed limit. Park on the R 50 m later in a wide gateway.
