Cloughmore Stone, Rostrevor, Co. Down.

According to legend the stone was thrown from the Cooley Mountains, on the other side of Carlingford Lough, by the giant Finn MacCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill). 

In reality, this giant granite boulder is a glacial erratic, thought to have been transported from Scotland and deposited by retreating ice during the last Ice Age. 

The stone is the traditional venue at Easter where the residents of Rostrevor would usually go up and roll their Easter eggs down the hill.
