Caherbaroul Pair
Caherbaroul Pair submitted by KiwiJon : A pair of magnificent stones in a commanding position high above the valley. Each one must be at least 8 feet high. The nearby fort is visible for miles. There is also a tiny cross slab located a couple of hundred metres further downhill and up a short farm track to the right. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Hi Gaelic Laird,

I've renamed this page 'Caherbaroul Pair' which has resulted in your photos of the single standing stone detaching from here and locating on their correct page Caheraboul Standing Stone https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=54869&map=2

I have also linked your comments about duplication and deletion onto the Casherbaroul site page https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=3106&map=2

***Admin - corrections required***

Hi folks, yesterday I added a new site "Caherbaroul Standing Stone" and uploaded three photos to the page. The new page is up and running and the photos are shown on the page (https://m.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=54869). No further action required there.

Unfortunately though the same photos have magically appeared on this page and should be deleted as this page is for another site in a different location.

To further complicate things this site is duplicated as you currently have two pages for the same site; there is this page titled Caherbaroul (Cooper's Rock) Standing Stones and then another page titled "Casherbaroul - Stone Row / Alignment" mapped at the same location (see here:
https://m.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=3106&map=2).

I have visited the site and can confirm there is only one monument at this location. I'd suggest you delete the page for "Casherbaroul - Stone Row / Alignment" altogether and remove the three photos from this page that were added yesterday.

I've some photos to add for this site but will wait until the corrections have been undertaken.
