I live in Ireland and I'm a good friend of Anthony Weir - http://www.beyond-the-pale.org.uk/phallic2.htm - it's hard not to get phallic over here! There are several phallic standing stones in early churchyards here as well as the more remote standing stones. I was at one of the most phallic stones I've ever seen last weekend, but I haven't added it to my website yet - a picture of it can be seen on the above page (Ballygilbert), but that picture really doesn't do it justice.
That 'split in the bark' on the BCD stone is very convincing, by the way.
