The Clochafarmore, also known as Cúchulainn's Stone, is a striking standing stone that stands on a gentle hill south of the R171 and holds a special place in Irish mythology. The drive here takes you through quiet country roads and open fields until you finally come across this mystical stone. The story goes that Cú Chulainn, the legendary Irish hero, fought his last battle here and tied himself to the stone to face his enemies standing tall.

The field where the stone stands is also called "The Field of Slaughter" - a name reminiscent of the ancient legends. It is fascinating how a place can hold so much history while the surrounding landscape remains in peaceful silence. A detour here is worthwhile not only for the impressive height of the stone, but also for the special atmosphere inherent in this place. However, some of the access roads are a bit narrow and the terrain can be muddy after rain - so be careful if you're cycling here.
