IrelandThe Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny) is a megalithic stone on the Hill of Tara's Inauguration Mound in County Meath, Ireland, used as the coronation seat for the King of Tara and High King of Ireland [1]. Legend claims all Irish kings were crowned on this stone until Muirchertach mac Ercae c. 500 AD [1]. The stone was believed to possess magical properties, notably 'screaming' when a rightful king stood upon it [1].
