Killycluggin Stone

The Killycluggin Stone is a decorated stone, which has been interpreted by some as the cult image of Crom Cruach. It was found at Killycluggin, County Cavan, in 1921 (Site number 93, Killycluggin townland, “Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan”, Patrick O’Donovan, 1995, p. 19). O'Kelly, however, refers to this image as Crom Dubh. Roughly cone-shaped and covered in Iron Age La Tène designs[2], it was discovered broken in several pieces and partly buried close to a Bronze Age stone circle, inside which it probably once stood.^[2] The site has several associations with St. Patrick. Nearby is Tobar Padraig (St. Patrick's Well), and Kilnavert Church, which is said to have been founded by the saint. Kilnavert was originally called Fossa Slécht or Rath Slécht, from which the wider Magh Slécht area was named.
