dohagan visited - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Ran from quarry on Ligoneil Road/Ballyhill Road across Heath Walk. Joined the mast service road and soon noted the stone around 30 m east of the road. There is a fence running north to south on the west of the stone. When this is climbed there is a small path to the edge of a bank where in clear weather a fine view of Belfast can be had.
