The Big Stone - Cloughmore, Rostrevor, County Down, Northern Ireland. This 30-ton granite boulder perches on the slopes of Slieve Meen, 1000 ft above the village of Rostrevor, and is known locally as the big stone. It was deposited there by retreating glaciers during the Last Glacial Maximum. Local legend says that the stone was thrown by a giant from the Cooley Mountains, on the other side of Carlingford Lough. Walking around the stone seven times will allegedly bring good luck...
