Cursing stones at the Pass of Keimaneaigh, Co. Cork.

Peter Harbison in his book on Irish Pilgrimges records the tradition of the cursing stones where the stones are turned by someone wishing to curse another if his reasons for doing so were justified, the curse would have its effects, if not, the curse would rebound on the person who turned the stones,

At Keimineigh there are five basins filled each filed with a rounded stone in the centre of which is a large stone which has no basin.
