According to Power (1952, 83) a stone described as a cross-base "four foot six inches by two feet three inches (dims. c. 1.4m x c. 0.7m)" was outside Monea House. It was known as Cloch a Datha - the Stone of the dye, which was used in dying cloth. This location is not known, but the description matches the cross-base now in Ardmore village. This is a conglomerate stone (dims. 1.05m x 0.7m; H c. 0.55m) with a socket (dims. 0.42 x 0.32m D 0.5m). It was originally located (WA040-013----) c. 200m to the SE on the opposite side of the street from the Church of Ireland church (FitzGerald 1856-7, 43-4; Power 1932c, 18). FitzGerald, E.
