Two large standing stones remain from what may have been a three stone alignment not far from Baltray beach and golf course. It was discovered in 2000 that the south stone makes an unusual alignment with Rockabill Islands off the coast, when viewed along the south face of this stone, the sun rises almost directly behind Rockabill Island on Winter Solstice.
