A recent post about a stone chair in Co. Limerick made be recall a visit to Fiddlers Rock at Glenafelly in Co. Offaly.
I first read about this rock in John Feehan's book - The Landscape of Slieve Bloom.

There isn't a whole pile of folklore that I am aware of regarding it other than than its association with a fiddler.
It is marked on coillte's map for the Glenafelly loop walk.

Stone chairs like this can often be linked to Gaelic inauguration practices, some are natural stones that are used, some have been worked by man to become more chair-like.
It is described on archaeology.ie as follows
"Large conglomerate glacial erratic almost rectangular in plan (H 1.3m; 1.7m x 0.6m) aligned NE/SW. Doubtful standing stone due to its location and shape and not marked on any editions of the OS 6-inch maps. According to Feehan (1979, 208-10) this standing stone known locally as the 'Fiddlers Rock' located in centre of possible enclosure (OF039-016001-) of which no surface trace survives"
Despite the description saying it wasn't marked on the old OS maps it actually was!
