What is recorded here

An Chrois stands in County Galway as a Bronze Age stone marked by a 1675 cross and the name I. Healy. The old rock may have watched herds, storms or forgotten prayers long before a human chisel cut its surface. That sudden Christian mark does not erase the older silence; it joins two timelines on one cold shoulder of stone.
An ancient Bronze Age standing stone. It was Christianised in 1675 when Johannes Healy carved "I. Healy" and a cross on the former pagan stone
