The Holestone is located on private farmland.
T: (028) 9442 8331
On the crest of a hill sits a Bronze Age standing stone or "hole stone". It is 1.5 metres high, with a 10cm diameter hole cut into it. We can only speculate as to why the Holestone was created and what was its original purpose.
The Legend of the Holestone:
The Holestone is an ancient Celtic Stone that has attracted visitors to the Borough seeking eternal love and happiness since the eighteenth century. Upon reaching the Holestone couples undertake a traditional ceremony where the woman reaches her hand through the circular hole and her partner takes it, thus pledging themselves to love each other forever.
