    Never heard of it, looked it up. Why is there a fence around it?

    If you say the priests are 6ft then it's around 30ft

    You could find the standard fence height and calculate it out

    Good question, if it is found, I have pictures of it at Ballymagreekan, think that's the spelling,the Quarry outside Castlewellan,where it was assembled. Lots of ripping yarns around the granite use from said quarry.
