A panoramic view across the valley of the river
Blackwater is afforded from this fine alignment (or stone-row),
which comprises 3 stones close together and measuring from 2.5 m to over 3.7 m high. A fourth one has fallen
~2.4km (Just under 1 1/2ml) NNW, about 900m E by N
of Lahuran crossroads, in Gneeves, is another,
unusual, alignment of 3 stones whose broad faces are
parallel, but not in line. The highest is 2.6m.
~1.6km (I ml) due S, and 20m NE of the road from
Bweeng to Lomburdstown, 4.8km (just under 3ml)
NW of Bweeng) is Lackendarragh holed stone. It is
in an enclosure known as Kilkillin (cut through by
the road), which seems to have been an early
Christian graveyard. Nearby is a souterrain. The slab
is 122cm high and 2.7cm thick. At the S edge is a
curving hole, probably formed naturally, 5cms in
diameter, 11.3cm on its long side, and 5cm on its
side. A report in the 19th century alleged that
'handkerchieves' (probably rags) were passed
through it to cure wounds. Skulls have been found
round about, and many local stories of supernatural
moving lights, etc, are associated with the site.
~3.6km (2 1/4ml) SSE is Beenalaght alignment.
~7.2km (4 1/2rnl) ESE is Kilquhane holed stone (see under
Greenhill) .
Access: 3.2km (2 ml) NW of
Bweeng and 11.2km (7ml) SW of Mallow, just visible
on the rising slope 200m S of a T-junction at the bridge
over the Duvglasha river.
