    The seven stones are in a field on the top of Bruel Hill. Some of the stones are bigger than others. There are no trees around them and no writing on them. There are some standing erect and others flat on the ground.
    It is said that Bruel Hill is the highest tillage hill in Ireland. There are four Druids lived in Cillin Cormack, and there is a legend about them, and a place called Cnoc Adow in also noticeable. Both Bruel Hill and Cnoc Adow stand near the graveyard.
