A Row of Six Stones (Alignment) in Co. Cork, one of which has fallen.
This is the best-known alignment in the area, and is known as 'An Seisear' (The Six). Five stones from 1.8m to 3m are standing, while a sixth is prostrate.
The area is rich in prehistoric remains, especially Standing Stones.
1.6km (1 ml) S by W is Gowlane North Stone Circle.
3.6km (2 1/4ml) NNW is another alignment in Garrane.
Access: 13.6km (8 1/2ml) SW of Mallow, on a hill to the W of the Mallow-Coachford Road (L40), about 1.6km (1 ml) SW of Bweeng.
