Hole Stone, Doagh, Co. Antrim: A Timeless Testament to the Past Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Doagh, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, stands the enigmatic Hole Stone. This ancient monolith, believed to date back to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, has captivated the imagination of visitors for generations. The Hole Stone, also known as the Doagh Holestone or the Bullaun Stone, is a remarkable example of megalithic architecture. Its most striking feature is a large, circular hole, approximately 1 meter in diameter and 0.5 meters deep, carved into the top of the stone. The purpose of the hole remains a mystery, with theories ranging from it being a sacrificial site, a water collection point, or a celestial observatory. The Hole Stone is surrounded by rich folklore and legend. Local tales speak of fairies and hidden treasures, adding to the allure of this ancient monument. The stone is also said to have healing properties, with people coming from far and wide to touch the water in the hole for good luck or to seek a cure for various ailments. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The image captures the rugged beauty of the landscape, with the Hole Stone standing proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills and open sky. The absence of modern structures and the simple clothing of the people in the photograph add to the sense of timelessness and mystery that surrounds this ancient site. The Hole Stone, Doagh, Co. Antrim, remains an enduring symbol of Northern Ireland's rich cultural heritage and a reminder of the deep connection between the people and the land.
