Watch: 'Indiana Stones' revives the ancient Irish tradition of heavy stone lifting

David Keohan, also known as "Indiana Stones", is reviving the ancient tradition of stone lifting. "The Bulk", a stone weighing 170kg is situated in the town of Owning, Kilkenny. The tradition of stone lifting was carried out as part of funeral games and other rites of passage, but also as a form of entertainment. Historically, men would routinely take bets on who could lift "The Bulk" longest and furthest - usually after a few pints of beer in the local pub, Keohan says.
