Clonfinlough Stone, Bronze Age rock art on Esker Hill near Clonmacnoise, Ireland.
The Clonfinlough Stone measures 3 meters by 2.45 meters and features intricate carvings including crosses, cup marks, and foot impressions on its limestone surface.
Dating from 2500 to 500 BC, archaeological excavations near the stone revealed a settlement with a large palisaded enclosure containing circular houses.
The stone exhibits carvings similar to those found in Galicia, Spain, and stands near the medieval pilgrimage route known as Camino de Santiago.
Visitors can access the stone via a marked path from St Kieran's Church, with limited parking available for two cars beside the roadway.
The stone displays three foot impressions and the letters DOD, along with a split-year sign showing a circle divided into two sections.
