Description

Large, roughly hewn stone ‘chair’, set on the south side of the drive leading from the eastern entrance to Tullymore Park. The ‘chair’ is in granite with a low seat and a broad back. The back is inscribed with a verse but the lettering is badly worn and the writing now largely indistinct, however it is said to have read: ‘Here, in full light, the russet plains extend, There, wrapped in clouds, the bluish hills ascend, Even the wild heath displays her purple dyes And, ’midst the desert, fruitful fields arise’.
