Lough Boora Parklands

A stepped pyramid of unmortered glacial stone which has resonace with previous times and cultures.

Sculpture concept

by sculptor: Eileen MacDonagh

"I have always wanted the opportunity to make a large work in the landscape. The idea of a pyramid was one which evolved during visits to the site and discussions with Bord na Móna about the materials available in the area"

"Our work is a stepped pyramid, eight metres wide and nearly six metres high. It is made from unmortared stone which had been enshrouded in the growing bogs until revealed once more during peat harvesting. The pyramid is one of the most stable structures and has resonance with previous times and cultures".
