The Holestone

The Holestone


Doagh, United Kingdom (GB)
This is one of the best-preserved Bronze Age standing stones in Ireland. Located atop an out-of-place rocky outcrop in a field about a mile from the village of Doagh, its ancient origins are unclear. Theories about its purpose run the spectrum, some believe its a burial place or a pagan altar; others think it was a meeting place for Celtic kings.
