I asked because there is an area in Tipperary that has over 500 stones scattered about it, including a possible 125m diam circle. The area in question is 120 acres. A lot of the stones are grouped in alignments of 3 and point in every which way. There are some that seem like four posters but have never been classified as such. I've only seen about 250 of them in one particularly consentrated area.

One of the most common is two slim stones and a flat slab across the line. This seems to indicate a shadow being cast upon the slab by the two other stones AND more importantly the shadow meaaning something.

No one has ever done a proper study of them (yet - hehe!) and so I can't say what they mean. It's one of my summer projects though. If the PM is a double row of stones then it doesn't really fit my model. Shame.

Still, when I'm back in the UK for a while I'll have to get my ass up there anyway.
