Spirit of the Cauldron - Sign
We’ve had lots of enquiries about the Geashill Cauldron, the sculpture, and how the stones and the metal imagery relate to it.
This is a temporary sign we’ve put up to help out with some of these when you pay a visit - which we hope you will.

One week on, the Spirit of the Cauldron sculpture is bedding in beautifully in The Green in Geashill.
Water is trickling down from the cauldron over the carved stones, light is playing across the cut out figures on the metalwork and swallows are skimming on the adjacent pond.
The sculpture, which has been supported by the CreativIrl programme in Offaly County Council was launched by Cllr Liam Quinn of Edenderry Municipal District last Friday evening.
The Cauldron project has been a four year collaboration between stone carver, Ciaran Byrne, weld-artist Luke Carson, the Wednesday Club and local community, and of course Geashill Tidy Towns.
The Cauldron may lie in the National Museum, but its spirit has been well and truly restored to the village.
