The Mottee Stone is an imposing stone located in County Wicklow, between Wexford and Dublin. This legacy of the Ice Age even offers a superb panorama for anyone who decides to climb to its summit! It’s a lovely curiosity that will take you away from the traditional tourist sites!
The Mottee stone is full of history and legend.
Lost alone in the middle of a field, she would officially have arrived there at the time of the Ice Age, carried away by great currents of ice.
Legend has it that Fionn MacCumhaill launched the granite boulder from Lugnaquilla Mountain. A real showdown!
Located on the Avoca-Rathdrum road, the Mottee stone has its own parking lot, where you can park easily before accessing the rock.
The rock is over 3 metres high, with a circumference of over 4 metres. A small metal ladder has been inserted to allow access to the top. The panorama is sublime!
For the superstitious among you, the Mottee stone is said to grant wishes! All you have to do is walk around the stone 3 times, without thinking about a goat… and you’re done!
