The area probably takes its name from this holed stone. Like the Cloch-An-Phoill it is most likely a door stone from a tomb.
The hole is 15-20cm in diameter and beautifully formed. The whole stone is about 1.4m square and 25cm thick. One side is very smooth and the obverse is very rough.

This is another one of those sites I've wanted to return to for a long time now. It's a wonderful stone and its hole gives it very special status amongst Irish monuments. I love the fact that, by pure coincidence, the hole lines up with a big old tree on the horizon.

From Ardee take the N2 south and turn west along the R165. Take the second left and continue for about 650m. The stone is just in the field on your left.
