The Castlestrange Stone.
| The Castlestrange Stone is one of the four so-called 'cult stones' remaining in Ireland from the Celtic or La Tene period. It is quite small, at 50 cm high and has the appearance of a large egg. The stone is located at Castlestrange near Athleague in Co Roscommon. It is covered with marvellous swirling designs across its whole surface, in a quite similar manner to Galway's Turoe Stone. |
