Clough Mór ('The Big Stone'), Rostrevor

Clough Mór, a 30-ton granite boulder, lying on the upper slopes of Slieve Martin is a remnant of the Ice Age. It is associated in story with the legendary Irish shotputter and causeway builder Finn MacCool.

"I am an Ulsterman, a Connachtman, a Greek," said Finn.

"I am Cuchulainn, I am Patrick.

I am Carbery-Cathead, I am Goll.

I am my own father and my son.

I am every hero from the crack of time."

Ballymacdermot Court Cairn
Every stone retains its memories
Of hands that gripped and heaved,
Of beads of perspiration,
Of whispered secrets,
And gossipy conversation.

Laughter echoing laughter,
Tears replacing tears,
Brows furrowing out
The immemorial mystery.

In budding hedgerows,
Other blackbirds sang;
In lustful loanens,
Other lovers laughed.

And the earth went round,
And others were born,
Gave birth,
And passed on.

Swans and their cygnets in Drumaness mill pond.

"The stately-sailing swan

Gives out his snowy plumage to the gale,

And, arching proud his neck, with oary feet

Bears forward fierce, and guards his osier-isle,

Protective of his young."

James Thomson 1700-1748

Self-born, born anew?"
