Errahc Giants Stone, Altnadun, Co. Down: A Young Girl's Encounter with a Glacial Round Stone This evocative photograph captures the enchanting moment of a young girl's connection with the ancient Errahc Giants Stone in the picturesque village of Altnadun, County Down, Northern Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich history and mythology of this location. The Errahc Giants Stone, also known as the Erraghmore Stone, is a glacial erratic – a large boulder carried and deposited by a glacier during the last ice age. This imposing, round stone, measuring approximately 10 feet in height and 15 feet in circumference, stands proudly in a lush green field, surrounded by the rolling hills and pastoral beauty of County Down. The young girl in the photograph, with her curious expression and outstretched hand, embodies the sense of wonder and discovery that draws visitors to this mystical site. The Errahc Giants Stone is steeped in local folklore, with tales of giants and fairies said to have once inhabited the area. As she stands beside the stone, the young girl seems to be in communion with the ancient energies that have shaped this land for millennia. This image, with its timeless quality and evocative storytelling, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of nature to inspire awe and wonder. The Errahc Giants Stone in Altnadun, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, remains a cherished piece of local heritage and a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of this enchanting region.
