  Description

  Described as ‘Ramshaghroe’ on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, it is located on a shoulder of fairly high ground at the SW end of the Blackstairs Mountains. The SE-NW Aughnacrew River is c. 450m to the SW with Ballyleigh Hill beyond it. There are extensive views of Mount Brandon and the valley of the N-S River Barrow to the NW. A reference from an 18th century dictionary by O'Reilly (pers. Com. Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich) describes Raimseach ruadh, the wife of the Gobán Saer, as one of two stones which St. Moling had metamorphosed, the other being her companion, but a second stone has never been identified. A local blacksmith attempted to destroy the larger stone through three charges inserted in the stone, but when these holes bled the attempt was abandoned. This is a granite stone with quartz veins and a sub-rectangular cross-section at the base (dims. 0.35-0.85m x 0.65m; H 1.9m) aligned generally ESE-WNW.
