Stone pair from Boherboy
The stone pair of Boherboy (locally called "Adam and Eve") stand 1.7 meters apart, about 30.0 m south of Boherboy Road, 1.2 km southeast of the hamlet of Saggart and west of Tallaght in County South Dublin in Ireland .
The menhirs ( English standing stones ) are 1.2 and 1.3 meters high. One is pointed and the other is flat.
About 3.2 km south and 400 meters east of the road to Blessington in Raheen, there is a massive, pointed 2.1 m high menhir, with a line of five bowls about 4 cm in diameter on the upper right side of the south side.
