What is recorded here

Situated in undulating pasture. Not depicted or named on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Annotated 'Cloghstucka' on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map and shown located adjacent to a roadside field boundary running NW-SE. It is possible that this monument is still preserved in the roadside boundary. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography as its location is obscured by the tree-line field boundary.
