And how common at that time, or how many references are there to stone lifting that you've come across in Ducas?

Oh my God, there's so many.

I mean, if you type in the keyword stone, just stone into Ducas, you get 25,000 plus references.

25,000 references.

That's how, like, that's the way I always call it at the Díon na Cléa, where the people have stone.

25,000 references to stone.

Now, that could be a stone wall, a stone wall building, a stone bridge, a stone marker.

But there's so many references to stone lifting.

And where you live in a townland called Clugholg or Clughart or whatever.

Exactly.

Is the clue in the name?

Well, there's a townland in Monaghan called Clughnart.

That literally means stone of strength.

So there was meant to be an old ring fort in that town land.

A stone was lifted in that by the men.

And the town land is called stone of strength.

So it has to be there.

It has to be there.

I haven't found that one yet.

I think that would be a great one.
