Geata an Ghlas Ghaibhnigh

A pair of standing stones on the NE slopes of Croaghmarhin, commanding an extensive view over the crescent of lowlying land which surrounds Smerwick Harbour.
The stones, set 4.15m apart in a NE-SW line, stand at opposite sides of the E-W running field wall into which they are incorporated. The NE stone is 2.77m high and measures 1.2m x at least .4m at base; the SW stone is .25m higher, and measures 1.3m x at least .5m at base.
The stones are known locally as 'Geata an Ghlas Ghaibhnigh', from their traditional association with the miraculous cow of that name.
