The Hole Stone

Holed Stone

Fieldnotes

Visited this site the year before last, pretty impressive but hard to find!

Unsurprisingly its located just off the Holestone road just outside Doagh. On top of a stony outcrop surrounded by gorse bushes and not easy to spot. We finally found it after three visits and with directions from a local historian friend.

If visiting, don't wear shorts......

Local tourist board lists it as an attraction and states that it was used in the 1800s or there abouts for marriages...

other descriptions can be found at....
