Clocha na hÉireann
Located in Gleann Cholm Cille, Co Donegal, Clocha na hÉireann is a stone map illustrating the 32 counties of Ireland. It was commissioned in 2016, marking the entenary of the Proclamation of the Republic in 1916. Each stone is carved from stone native to the county it depicts, and in most cases the counties were carved by stonemasons native to the county.
The carved county stones feature a motif linked with the county, often a geographical feature, a mythological element, or a crest. The image above gives the details for each county.
The project was organised by the Tír Chonaill Stone Festival in 2016.
