Clochafarmore, Bronze Age standing stone near Knockbridge, Ireland
The Clochafarmore menhir rises 3 meters high with a circumference of 4 meters on the bank of River Fane in County Louth.
A bronze spearhead discovered near the stone in the 1920s indicates that ancient battles occurred in this location during the Bronze Age period.
The field surrounding Clochafarmore is named the Field of Slaughter, connecting to the legendary death of Irish hero Cúchulainn at this location.
The archaeological site stands 1.4 kilometers east-northeast of Knockbridge village, with clear visibility from the surrounding agricultural landscape.
According to mythology, Cúchulainn tied himself to this stone while mortally wounded, remaining upright until a raven landed on his shoulder indicating his death.
