Three large rocks in the field south of Parknabinnia above.
The three stone row could be a natural feature and would not seem so unusual except the middle stone has a large notch in it that seems to form a sight straight to the Parknabinnia tomb above, and from the tomb direction singles out a notch in the horizon between two hills.
