What is recorded here

No Graveslab marker exists on the survey map, yet several stones emerged from the Castle Bernard moat. They may have been buried when the water filled the ditch or moved when the land changed hands. In either case, the moat kept what the field forgot.

No evidence of any graveslabs in the area marked on the 6-inch ordnance survey map. According to Feehan several graveslabs were recovered from the moat (OF036-044003-) to the SW of Castle Bernard (Feehan 1979, 185). 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
