What is recorded here

Dysert O’Dea: An inscribed stone from a 17th-century house built by George Stacpoole in Ennis now stands in the restored tower house, having travelled from Mill Street and Edenvale. Its movement suggests a building forgotten, a stone reused, and a name preserved only because someone carried it across Clare.

This record is for the original location of an inscribed stone from a house built by George Stacpoole in the 17th century. The stone was originally in Mill Street, Ennis (now Parnell Street) but the precise location on the street is unknown. It was for a time in Edenvale (Westropp 1895-7, 38) (CL041-059----) but it is presently in the restored tower house at Dysert O’Dea (CL025-095002-) (Ó Murchadha 1991, 33-4). See CL025-095009- for the present location record and details. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 15 April 2014

Dated to the early historic period, likely 17th century, the stone's inscription may reflect personal or property-related markings rather than prehistoric symbolism. Its relocation from a public street to a private residence suggests possible local folklore or commemorative use.
