What is recorded here

Located on rock outcrop in an area of dense scrub. Discovered during land reclamation work in the 1950s when human bones were uncovered. A granite boulder with a possible bullaun (TN009-058002) was removed by a local farmer and dumped into a nearby field fence. According to Wheeler (OPW report 1957) this was the possible site of a Cillin or small Early Christian burial ground. No visible remains and the bullaun stone could not be found. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
