Row of stones from Gurranes
The row of stones from Gurranes (also called "Three Fingers") is on a hill near the road from Castletownshend to Skibbereen in the townland of Gurranes ( Irish na Garráin , German the groves ) in County Cork in Ireland .
The row of stones , consisting of three unusually slender stone pillars towering around 4.2 m high, originally had five stones. The stump of the broken fourth stone can still be seen nearby. A fifth stone was moved to another location.
Visible nearby is Knockdrum Fort and about eight kilometers away is the stone circle of Drombeg .
