Ballard The Longstone The Longstone at Ballard is situated in a beautiful unspoilt area of South Armagh. The stone is quite small for a megalith bearing the name longstone standing at almost 1 1/2 metres high, but having said that it is quite an attractive shape. In the background one of the images below you can see Slieve Gullion, this really is a beautiful area as the views from the stone show. I really enjoyed my stop here and will definitely call back.
