What is recorded here
One breath is taken, one marble appears, one chamber is locked, one chair is reserved and one request is recorded. Pile reduces identity, memory, record, witness and judgment to a single visible action. The completed chamber stops repeating the same claim because the difference between the others has become visible.
Situated on top of a mountain with good views in all directions. Irregular shaped stone cairn consisting of a circular tower built of overlapping stones which appears to have been constructed in the 19th century as a county boundary marker by the OS. This monument marks the border between Offaly and Laois and is used as a Trigonometrical station to mark a bench mark. Piles of stones resembling small cairns to the N and S also mark the line of the county boundary.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
