What is recorded here

Buried shallowly beside Tullagee house, the stone waited centuries before emerging to display two sets of circles cut with radial grooves. Someone carved those repeating marks in darkness or daylight, perhaps mapping breath, water, or the turn of seasons. The stone now stands on the lawn, pulling ancient attention back into the ordinary grass.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Two sets of multiple circles with radial grooves found on a large stone discovered several inches below the field surface, 30m E of Tullagee house. Subsequently erected on the lawn of Tullagee house. (Tempest 1933, 72-4).
