That's just madly good. Like a megalithic coffee choux bun!

From what i understand and have read, it's a glacial erratic, with a henge built around it for ceremonial purposes. It's the sacred omphalus, the direct centre of the island of Ireland, steeped in mythology and folklore. ryaner Posted by ryaner
