  1. Motto Stone

    Share Share Post
    There is a very big stone on the top of Cronebane hill and it is called the Motto Stone.
    It was thrown from Tara hill by a great giant and it settled on the top of Cronebane hill. People come from many parts of Ireland in the Summer time to see the stone - you can go up to the top of it because there is steps on it.
    All the mountains of Wicklow can be seen from it and there is a hole on the top of it.
