Talk:Scotia's Grave

River name

Just wondering about the river name, the the river Finglas flows through Camp, which is further East, is there some mix up ?

Sadly, these are just snippets [1] but seem to back up the article (in fact I think that's my edit). As does this [2]. And this [3]. Dougweller (talk) 07:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unusual stone at the site

I have actually visited the site of Scotia's Grave, located a good 15 minutes' walk down an old stone pathway into a glen formed by the Finglas, off the road over the Slieve Mish Mountains, on the north side of the mountains, south from Tralee and Ballyard . The is a very curious large, circular (perhaps even a tilted hemispherical) stone of at least two meters diameter there with a circular cavity of some 4 or five inches depth and perhaps the same in diameter seemingly ground out of the stone in the middle. This stone is white-colored, and there is nothing natural at all about it. Somehow I feel that someone well-versed in ancient archaeology and monuments should have a look at this monolith and determine if it is of any value in the study of Irish history. This stone would be too big for even several people to move. I saw no stone 35 feet long anywhere in sight, despite several visits to the place.

One gets a very special feeling for Ireland and Irish history by visiting this place: there is not a single evidence of human activity anywhere in sight there except for this large stone, a stone circle of dubious antiquity a little further on at the end of the path, and the path itself.Daniel Sparkman (talk) 19:41, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fascinating. The way we work we can't use your observations, but if you took a photo we might be able to use that. The 35 foot stone is described here [4] - is that where you were? Dougweller (talk) 20:21, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
