What was lost has now been found

Tá an méid a cailleadh faighte anois

 

You’ve probably heard of the famous, ancient lifting stones in Iceland and Scotland, some of which are even replicated and used in modern strongman competitions. But did you know that over 22 stones (and still counting) have been uncovered just in the last few years in Ireland? Many of these heavier than the stones in Iceland and Scotland!

 

A few have laid the foundations but getting them uncovered and documented is primarily down to one man! That man is Kettlebell Sport World Champion and amateur historian David Keohan (affectionately called “Indiana Stones”)

On this website we will document the incredible stories of how these ancient stones were unearthed. You’ll see and read about the stones and their rich cultural significance and connections to mythology.

 

While we often think of history as something in the past, when you enter these pages you’ll learn how some history is still being uncovered and made in real time!
