🪨 Irishman revives the ancient sport of stone lifting David Keohane searches for boulders across Ireland — on beaches, in fields, and even in cemeteries. He believes each stone carries its own story and “memory of place.” In the past, stones were lifted at memorial ceremonies, harvest festivals, and during the inauguration of a new chieftain. According to Keohane, lifting a stone to your knees made you a champion — to your chest, a legend. Interest in the tradition is growing: competitions are already being held, and a stone-lifting studio has opened in Dublin.
