What is recorded here
One of three decorated stones in Ballinvally, County Meath, emerged when a ringfort was removed, yet no description survives to say what its marks portrayed. The stone was reburied at the location, returning the visible image to soil and silence. Whatever the marks recorded, they joined the other two stones in leaving behind a gap where memory should have stood.
This is one of three decorated stones that were found when a ringfort in Ballinvalley, county Meath was removed (ME009-063----), but no description of it is available. This stone appears to have been reburied at the location. (Shee Twohig 2001, 120, B; Shee Twohig et al. 2010, 21)
