Garrabost submitted by Sinmara : Standing Stone near Garrabost - easier to find than the chambered tomb/stone circle. Go to the standing stone first, then the stone circle (we couldn't find a path going to the stone circle, only found it by chance - the description on how to get there on the sign is useless) (Vote or comment on this photo)
