The Clonfinlough Stone, Offaly

A longer spin yesterday saw me cycling on a generally dry day.
It was reasonably warm so I stopped for a few Photographs. All were taken in the often much overlooked County of Offaly.

The enigmatic Clonfinlough Stone. A mysterious stone with strange carvings lying on an Esker near Clonmacnoise.

Is it Neolithic, Bronze Age, Early Christian... perhaps a Pilgrim's marker, who knows ?

Footed turf in a field and the same turf six weeks previously when freshly harvested.
The footing has been done by hand.

There are many bigger and better known places of interest in Offaly but sometimes it's the road less travelled that the Bike takes me along..............
