Two large slabs remain. Close to the school and church, and a large silage bale which, fortunately, won't be there for long. The views are long, into the broad valley of the Derryart River, and further to the Muckish Mountains.
For anyone who visits I recommend the Muck n' Muffin cafe in Dunfanaghy a few miles around the coast.
There are further stones in a field one hundred yards down the hill which are worth a look although not marked on the map.
