A Decorated stone refers to a stone inscribed with various
designs.
A lot of these stones have to do with much larger sites and some have
been moved from their original position.
Most of these stones were destroyed
when Ireland was invaded by the Roman Christians.
Many of
the decorated stones were used as foundation stones for the early Christain
churches therefore removing them from local culture.
Some of These Pictures are of a high quality and
large size to give you the ability to look at them in close detail, but they may
take some time to download on slow connections.
