What is recorded here

Three stones stand on a sunny slope above the Clashagloragh river, the tallest reaching nearly three metres while the smallest barely breaks a metre. They face one another across seven metres of open ground, marking a line that may have guided people, measured shadow or simply watched the water below. The pair of stones two hundred metres away suggests this was not a lonely act but a conversation between markers, perhaps strung along a ridge or a remembered route.

On level patch of ground on S-facing slope overlooking the Clashagloragh river. Row of three stones, aligned NE-SW, 7m in overall length. NE stone is 1.6m L, 0.6m T and 2.9m H. Next stone, 1.4m to SW, is 1.2m L, 0.75m T and 1.55m H. SW stone, 2.3m from last, is 0.65m L, 0.6m T and 1.1m H. There is a pair of standing stones (CO121-037---) 200m to ESE.
