What is recorded here

Gods and angels never flew from Clonbur. They fell into the Neale, dragged down by the weight of love and forgot the sky. The 1753 pyramid stands where they landed, built from the stones that broke on impact. The animal carvings are not decoration; they are the shapes the gods took when they stopped being able to hold human form. The 1526 date marks the last time one of them remembered its own name.

Incorporated into an 18th-century folly (MA121-004001-). A number of medieval carved stones are incorporated into a stone-built, stepped pyramidal-shaped folly which was erected in 1753. At the top of the folly there is as block of worked limestone, square (0.06m N−S; 0.6m E−W; H 0.35m) in plan, which has an inscription and date 1526 carved in false relief on three sides of the stone. The E-facing façade of the folly displays three rectangular stone slabs, two of which each bear a carving of an animal, and the third a carving of an angle. The provenance of these stones is unknown. They are described in more detail in the main entry for the folly (MA121-004001-). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 October 2020
