Speckled Stone
County Sligo
A little known megalith set in the shadow of Queen Maeve's tomb and near to the Carrowmore megalithic cemetery. This large holed stone (the hole is at bottom left) is set in boggy land in a back garden and historically was used as a healing stone for sick or weak children who were made to crawl through the hole. The landowner said people still occasionally bring children for hope of a cure. The stone is known as Cloch Liath (Grey Stone) or Cloch Bhreac (Speckled Stone) or the Derrydarragh Holed Stone.
