Stonecliff was the name of a monument on the southern shore of Northern Ergoth. It had two ancient marble plinths, 20 foot tall, carved with faces and symbols. They stood on a cliff overlooking the Durris River and the Huldre Bay in between Castle DiThon and the city of Hillfort. In 339 AC, the pillars were shattered by Guerrand DiThon and Belize. The rubble remains at the site. The pillars were believed to be thousands of years old, possibly as old as the world itself.
The site was considered a pleasant place for travelers to rest when traveling between Castle DiThon and Hillfort. The place was considered to be magical and Tuatha Dundareal (i.e., brownies) were spotted in the area. The local lord of Castle DiThon intended to demolish the pillars and set up a fort on the cliff but the plan fell through.
