High above Doon Well (County Donegal) is a rocky outcrop with quite a history. The top of this craggy spot was used for the inauguration of the chieftains of the O'Donnells. There were 25 ceremonies in total between 1200ce and 1603ce, but I suspect that the site was of some ritual/sacred importance before that. The recorded ceremonies seem to only refer to those where a Christian ceremony had been already held at Kilmacrennan Abbey.
The views from the top are magnificent (even in a snow storm) with much of the surrounding lands visible, despite the outcrop being sited at the centre of a ring of low hills.
