Comeragh Hostel boasts its very own standing stones which are situated just 0.5 km from each other. Although each one is different from the other the one thing that might tie the three monuments together is that they form a rough line in a SW direction which possibly could be interpreted as being ancient route markings or boundary indicators. The three stones are all in separate fields which are the property of Comeragh Hostel, just stop by and we will gladly point you to where the stones are located. 
This stone pictured here is a rectangular shaped edge stone that stands in a field with a fine modern two story home, and like the stone pictured above is clearly visible from the road. Its just 1 metre high and 0.5 metre wide.
The stone pictured here is a rough surfaced conglomerate, crescent shaped with dimensions that are more like those of a portal tomb orthostat. It stands 1.25 metres tall but is almost 2 metre wide and 0.5 metres in thickness. It is not visible from the road but is just two fields behind the house mentioned above and is easy accessed by a gate at the rear of the building.
