Row of stones from Drumgole
The stone row of Drumgole ( Irish Droim Gabhla ) is located southeast of Doohat ( Dútháite ), directly on the R189 in County Monaghan in Ireland and is an unusual stone row . It is marked on the OSI map as "Stone Row", on the Historic Map as "Gray Stones" ( German "Graue Steine" ).
It is located on a low drumlin after which the townland is named. The three main stones are oriented northeast-southwest in a line in a field boundary. A fourth stone is about 5 feet south of the row.
