- (continued from previous page)The upright stones are deeply embedded in the earth. The height of the monument is about five feet.
Quite close to this are two other cromlechs in a field on either side of the public road. They are similar in construction to the one described above but not so large.
All three are well preserved and prided in by the natives. A new-comer to the place, an ex R.I.C. pensioner bought the land on which No. 1. stands and when building a shop he contemplated removing the cromlech to make room for the shop. The natives gathered and warned him that he had better remove himself than the monument and so it still remains with the shop near by.
