Athgreany Stone Circle

Known as the Pipers Stones, This site consists of 14 granite stones and a massive outlier. I really enjoyed visiting this site it has a good atmosphere. Athgreany translates as 'Field of the Sun'. Legend says a group of merrymakers were dancing to the pipers tune on the sabbath when God turned them to stone, the outlier being the piper. An old thorn tree also grows on the circumference, these are usually associated with the fairy folk in Ireland.

Situated: 10 miles north of Baltinglass on the Dublin Road at Athgreany, the site is well signposted (The Pipers Stones). The stones are on a hilltop about 150 metres from the road.
