Description
Site
Noted by Raftery (1969, 105) as a 'possible ringfort' but known locally as a killeen. A recent geophysical survey has confirmed the existence of an ecclesiastical enclosure (Purcell 2003, 6-8). Five other ogham stones from this site are now at Mount Melleray Cistercian monastery (CIIC 286-290).
