The Cloch Labhrais, also called the Answering Stone and the Speaking Stone,〔(''Waterford County Council - I.T.A. Topographical and General Survey. Natural Features, Antiquities, Historic Associations, Etc'' )〕 is a large boulder in Ireland, beside a road leading from Waterford to Dungarvan, two miles (3 km) from the Stradbally parish. The stone is the subject of a legend, much like the Blarney Stone. The most prominent and unique feature of the stone is a large, almost completely cleaving the stone in two. The large glacial boulder likely obtained the split when the glacial ice melted due to a rapid temperature change between the ice and the water of the stream.〔(Waterford County Council - ''Letters Containing Information Relative to the Antiquities of the County of Waterford Collected During the Progress of the Ordnance Survey in 1841'' )〕 ==Size and placement== The boulder rests on the west bank of the River Deehan near Stradbally. It is split from North to South almost perfectly in the center of the rock. The split itself, in width, cuts the stone into two parts: the eastern and western divisions.
