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.”
