    Local Place-Names.
    Up on Arklow Rock there is a large stone hanging down from the cliff edge. It is therefore called 'the Hanging Stone' and is supposed to consist of a kind of stone not found in any other part of Ireland.
    Kathleen Brewster, 'Hollymount', Arklow, Co. Wicklow.
    I got this information from a person whose name I do not know, living near the stone.
