What is recorded here

According to local kowledge this stone was removed from its original location at Cully (OF024-001----). It is now incorporated into the fire surround at the Blue Ball pub nearby (OF024-002----). The stone is inscribed with the date '1641' and is dressed with pocked stone tooling very similar to the doorway of Srah castle. The locals said that it came from Derrymore House a 19th century townland house which had acquired it from the 17th century building (OF024-001----) in the nearby townland of Cully, that is depicted as the 'Convent in Ruins' on the 1838 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record OF024-001001
