BSW4 - 10. Owenea standing stone

from Racontour Archive - 2020 onwards Hosted by Racontour and friends

Speaker: Bart Whelan From the Bluestack Way - Part 4 playlist. Upon getting onto the R261, you may wish to turn right and view the nearby Owenea Standing Stone, a massive block some 3.5 metres high in a scraggy field behind a ruin. Folklore says that Fionn McCumhaill threw this shoulder stone from “Clo na Cleire Mountain” and it landed here. When you get to the brown sign on the right saying Owenea river, cross the stile right beside it and turn left to see the standing stone - you have the landowner's permission to be there. In our audio piece, local Bart Whelan tells us the colourful story of Fionn's reason for throwing the stone - not just a warrior, but Ireland's earliest eco warrior it would appear!
