What is recorded here

Comerford doubted the age of Carn because it sat beside St Broghan's stone, yet doubt belongs more to memory than to the stones themselves. Two maps argued about its place, one near the stone and one inside a field fence, while the land kept both versions without choosing. Carn disappeared only from human sight, not from the life of the field.

Marked on the most recent ed. OS 6-inch map close to St Broghan's stone but on the first ed. in a field fence to the W. It is not now to be seen at either location. According to Comerford (1883, 124-5) it was situated beside St Broghans stone (OF027-009002-) and was possibly of recent origin. 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. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
