What is recorded here
No amount of digging will bring back what was taken. The chamber holds no gold, only the weight of every promise broken inside it. What was stolen is not gone, it is waiting. The moment you stop wanting it, the chamber empties and the gate closes.
Unlocated graveyard within the townland of Clonad (Comerford 1883, 306).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
