Cloughmore, Granite boulder in Rostrevor, Northern Ireland.
The Cloughmore stone sits 300 meters above Rostrevor village on Slieve Martin mountain, measuring 5 meters long, 3.2 meters wide, and 2.3 meters high.
During the last Ice Age, glaciers transported this 50-ton granite block from Scotland's Strathclyde Bay to its current location in County Down.
Local residents maintain the tradition of rolling Easter eggs down the hill near the Cloughmore stone during annual spring celebrations.
Multiple marked walking trails in Kilbroney Park lead visitors through the forest to reach this geological formation on the mountain slopes.
The granite composition of Cloughmore differs from the surrounding Silurian metasedimentary rock, making it stand out in the geological landscape.
