I found some more photos of #TheHolestone near #Doagh, #CountyAntrim in the snow for #StandingStoneSunday. These were taken on Christmas Eve 2010.
Cairn terrier for scale. #DogsOfMastodon
@Nickiquote It's a long time since I took photos here - they were on slide film back in the early 2000s. You've captured it beautifully. 
@Nickiquote thanks for posting and to be honest, the terrier helps!
@Nickiquote Can you share details on the purpose/function of such a perfectly masoned hole?
@LomanB I think this covers all that anybody knows about it: https://voicesfromthedawn.com/doagh-holestone/
Voices from the DawnDoagh Holestone - Voices from the DawnDoagh, Co. Antrim A visitor to the Doagh Holestone might find the ground blanketed in flower petals, the remnants of a visit by newlyweds come to clasp hands through the hole. Their family and friends attend this modern rendition of a time-honored local practice, blissfully unmindful of earlier, more pagan activities at the site.
@Nickiquote How interesting - never heard of such a tradition/practice. Thanks for sharig that.
