bishop_pam visited on 20th Oct 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 The field gate was bolted but we managed to squeeze through a gap at one end. The stones are easily visible from the gate but it was good to go up and touch them.
1.2 km SE of Saggart village centre and about 30 metres S of the road to Tallaght, are two stones 1.2 and 1.3 metres high, only 1.7 metres apart. One is pointed and the other flat-topped: Adam and Eve – though the locals name them the other way round!
~ 3.2 km S, about 400 metres E of the road to Blessington, 250 metres E of a of a farm at the end of a lane, in Raheen (O 038235), is a massive pointed standing-stone 2.1 metres high, with a line of 5 (artificial ?) hollows about 4 cms in diameter on the top right of its S face.
