Clonalis House - History of the O'Conors, Kings of Connacht and High Kings of Ireland (4004 words)
In Gaelic tradition, Irish and indeed Scottish, when a king was inaugurated he symbolically married the soil over which he was to rule and a sacred stone was used for this purpose.
The stone acted as the Kings bride and the ceremony was known as "Banais Ri" (" the Kings marriage").
Part of the ceremony required the King to put his foot in the footstep which is carved in the top of the stone, probably as an act of consummation.
