The Wishing Stones at the Dhoon, Maughold
Place
The Wishing Stones at the Dhoon are two smooth slate slabs, approximately ten feet high and standing eighteen inches apart, on the broogh above Dhoon Bay in the parish of Maughold. Known in Manx as Meir ny Foawyr ("Fingers of the Giant"), the custom is to stand squeezed between them facing seaward, with a palm placed flat against each stone, and wish.
