" The Standing Stone "
This ancient celtic standing stone on Slaughter Hill, Co. Wicklow, dates back to the Bronze Age and it has stood here for thousands of years. Its wide side faces out over the Irish sea and the rising sun. It is of a type called "Schist" and the closest place to here, where this type of stone can be found is over 20 miles away near Kippure, which means it was actually physically carried to this spot.
No one knows what is its significance but it is most likely ritualistic because of its position and its relation to the sun.. All I do know is that I have visited it several times at dawn and when the first light strikes it, it certainly stirs up some strange and wonderful emotions which Im sure was the reason for it being positioned there in the first place. Magical!
Hope you like it.
Best wishes.
