2 Ancient HoleStones Doagh and Layd Graveyard Cushendall in Co Antrim

I have nearly 6000 videos on Youtube. I was looking at some of my early videos and decided that they could be doing with another 'outing'. Many of my more recent subscribers have probably not seen them. So I'm selecting some of those older videos and rejigging them and putting them into suitable compilations for my channel. Two Co Antrim Holestones The two videos joined together here are of Co Antrim Hole Stones. One is in a rural setting outside the village of Doagh and the other is further north on the coastline at Cushendall. Both are equally fascinating and historically significant. The Co Antrim Doagh Holestone is believed to be one of the best preserved standing stones in Ireland north or south. It and the Layd holestone are thought to date back to the Bronze Age. ( 3300 to 1200 BC ) Co Antrim Layd ( Layde ) Graveyard Cushendall Tradition has it that the parish church at Layd (broad place), established in 1306, replaced and earlier religious house. It ceased to be used as a parish church in about 1790, and was replaced by a new building in Cushendall. The graveyard stands besides a fast flowing stream that cascades into the sea at Port Obe. It contains many fine gravestones, including memorials to members of the MacDonnell family and others which illustrate the areas maritime and Scottish connections. The unusual cross with a hole in the centre, standing beside the entrance to the graveyard, is much older than its inscription suggests. This holestone is known as Cross Na Naghan. It is believed to have been transported from elsewhere ( probably from Scotland with members of the McDonnell clan ) and erected at the grave of Francis McDonnell of Legg buried in 1861.
