#70🎙️ Public Inquiry The Mass Rock - Bonus Episode

from The Sperrins: Mining, Power & Community in Northern Ireland · host buttonsoptions4u

The Mass Rock, Memory and Corporate Colonialism What is it that makes a place sacred? In this episode I reflect on childhood memories of an ancient ráth in County Kildare and the deep sense of mystery, belonging and connection it inspired. Those memories lead me to the Crockanboy Mass Rock in the Sperrins and a wider question about heritage, community and who gets to decide what places matter. In this episode: The childhood ráth that shaped my understanding of place and belonging Why sacred places matter beyond their physical form The history and significance of the Crockanboy Mass Rock The parallels between British colonialism and modern corporate control of land Heritage, memory and community stewardship Why access to cultural and spiritual sites matters Can a heritage site survive if the connection between people and place is broken? The Mass Rock survived because generations of people remembered, gathered, walked the old paths and kept its stories alive. The question is whether that living connection can survive today.
