I have visited· I would like to visit
bishop_pam: would like to visit We could not find this despite following all instructions and wading across a stream - we were near Hurlestone Manor but no sign of the Stone.
700 metres down a track leading SW off the R.24 on the SE side, this superb slab, 1.6metres high and 1.8 metres broad at the base, has a perfectly circular perforation roughly in the middle. It is 20 cms in diameter, splaying to about 25 cms. This part of Lough used to be rich in standing-stones, and “The Hurl Stone” is one of a chain of stones possibly forming some kind of boundary – though equally it might be the only remnant (a perforated door-slab) of a wedge-tomb.
