What is recorded here

No credible facts exist for that place name. An edge in one record and a separate place in another would break the claim that the account is complete.

This is the present location for a Rathdown-type slab from Tully church, Laughanstown (DU026-023010-). It was found lying south-west of the chancel. It is a tapered granite slab with two vestigial arms protruding from the edges (H 1.51m, Wth 0.41-0.27m, T 0.08m). It bears three groups of concentric circles on a centre band with herringbone pattern on each side (Ó hÉalidhe 1973, 56, 57, B 13; ). The slab was taken into storage by the OPW in 1989.

This Rathdown-type cross-slab likely dates to the early Christian period (7th–10th century AD) and may have originally served as a funerary or commemorative monument. Its relocation to Newtown suggests later reuse or preservation efforts, while its original context near Tully church indicates a possible ecclesiastical or ceremonial function.
