Farrannahineeny Stone Row

The Farrannahineeny Stone, a quintessential part of Ireland's cultural heritage, stands as a testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and reverence for nature. This stone row, composed of five stones, is a marvel of precision and alignment, a silent tribute to the astronomical knowledge of our forebears.

The tallest stone, reaching 2.6m, aligns with the summer solstice sunset, a celestial event that must have held great significance for the people who erected this monument. The site, atop a hill, offers panoramic views, a reminder of our ancestors' deep connection with the land and the sky.

The Farrannahineeny Stone is not just a monument, but a cultural artefact, a tangible link to our shared past. It is a symbol of unity, a testament to the interwoven history of Ireland and its people. As we preserve and study the Farrannahineeny Stone, we are not just preserving a monument, but a piece of our cultural heritage.

In the face of the passage of time, the Farrannahineeny Stone stands resolute, a beacon of our cultural heritage and a reminder of our roots. It is a symbol of our enduring connection to the land and its history.
