Ballygowan and Castletown, county Antrim


1. Ballygowan

J 350 952 - sheet 9

This wonderfully phallo-anthropomorphic stone now stands 1.4 metres high,
but the ground has been raised, so that originally it might have been 2 metres.


2. Castletown

J 335 943 - Sheet 15

1.5 WSW of the Ballygowan stone is this massive boulder, known as Buchanan's Stone.
It commands wide views.

The surrounding stones are field-clearance.
