The Piper's Stones at Athgreany, Co. Wicklow. The placename "Athgreany" comes form the Irish name "Achadh Gréine" or "Field of the Sun", which perhaps gives an idea of the original purpose of this stone circle. the hawthorn bush at the left hand side is a so-called "rag bush" - traditionally, a strip of cloth from the clothing of an ill person would be tied to the tree. As the cloth rotted away, the illness would disappear.
