Our stone your canvas
Standing stones designed by nature for whatever the project. Boyne Valley Heritage Limestone, Deer Haven Park, Cruicetown Slane. Part of Ireland’s Ancient East. Megalithic Limestone has been used in neolithic monuments in Boyne Valley for aeons. It has the patina of neolithic man.
Our blocks vary in size and weight and can be used in many novel ways. Similar stones can be seen in Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, Hill of Tara, Lough Crew Old Castle, Hill of Slane, Slane Castle, Trim, and Kells, bridges crossing the River Boyne.
Designed by nature
Between 400 million and 300 million years ago, parts of Northwest Europe, including much of Ireland, sank beneath a warm tropical sea. Great coral reefs formed in these waters, eventually creating the limestone that still makes up about 65 per cent of the area of the island.
Our stone is cleaved from the ancient rock face and is designed by nature’s chance and circumstance.
We export worldwide
Waterfalls, sunken barbeque and garden areas, dolmen, stone circles, standing stones. meditation spaces, yoga and healing areas.
As most of our stones are large, special handling and transport can be discussed and arranged. We can export worldwide. Remember you can have a piece of the Boyne Valley and Ireland’s Ancient East anywhere in the world
Smaller blocks and normal building stone suitable for walls, piers and and larger entrances, fireplaces.

Boyne Valley Heritage Limestone
600 million years old
Limestone formed in thick deposits of lime mud on the seafloor during the Carboniferous era 330 million years ago. As the landmass moved north, the relentless increase of sediment thickness caused the water to be squeezed out of the sediment.
Our limestone’s physical properties reflect these conditions: The deeper deposits became fine-grained darker limestone with prominent white brachiopods. The shallower deposits formed paler crystalline limestone. Sometimes coral forms distinct patterns in the limestone. These subtle differences in the stone beds produce the finest material for any project.
