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."
