clach-bràth
sf Judgement stone. 2 Rocking-stone, an immense spherical mass of rock, so situated that the least touch can rock it in one certain direction, but which cannot be made to move in any other by all the force that can be applied to it. Such stones were once frequent in Britain. There are stones in Iona called na clachan-bràth. They are within the precincts of the burial-ground, and are placed on the pedestals of a cross and have been, according to Pennant, the supports of a tomb. It is believed by some that the world's end will not come till the stone on which they stand is worn through.
