Irish Lifting Stones - The Lonergan Stone: History and attempted Lifts
Irish lifting stones are monsters!
The Lonergan Stone, Shanrahan Cemetry, Co. Tipperary.
From the Dúchas archives:
“A man named Thomas Lonergan was the strongest man in the parish. He could lift weights, and big stones and irons. There is a stone in Shanrahan grave-yard and men came from all round the district to lift the stone but none of them could lift the stone only Thomas Lonergan. He lived in the Bella and he died ten years ago.”

My knee was twinging watching that
Love it! More stone lifting, please.
Love how you give the history of the stone, then lift it!
Fantastic!!!👍🙋♂️
Good on you for finding the stone, and trying your hand at it! I often wondered what it looked like. That Esther Finlay in the Duchas text was the village teacher, she ran a "hedge school" . That church used to the centre of a large monastery known for its bell metalwork.
That’s interesting! May I ask the source of this information? We are preparing an academic paper on the topic and it would be very helpful.
@@DrDavidNolan The paper is by Paul Stevens, For whom the bell tolls: the monastic site at Clonfad 3, Co. Westmeath
I love to see this tradition kept alive!
