What is recorded here

No human has ever seen the chamber because the earth swallowed it before roads existed. The chamber is not lost, it is waiting for the right person to stop running and listen. The right person hears the chamber calling their name in a language older than words. The chamber gives back everything the person pretended to forget.

During archaeological investigations on the route of the South-Eastern Motorway a cup-marked stone was found. This is located at the edge of a marshy flood plain running to the Shanganagh river (Seaver 2004). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 22 April 2018.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the cup-marked stone at Laughanstown may have had ritual or ceremonial significance, possibly linked to water or fertility symbolism. Such markings are often associated with prehistoric ritual practices or territorial markers.
