What is recorded here
Aghagurty is not a stone at all but a room where forgotten things go to be remembered. The chamber has no walls, yet every entrance leads back to the person asking. What is lost in life returns in dreaming, shaped by the asker's own memory. The chamber does not create meaning; it reflects the life that is still searching for it.
Not visible at ground level. Marked on 1840 edition of OS 6-inch map as' Large Stone'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
