On the road verge S of the R503 at the intersection of the R503 and a local public road. Annotated 'Liberty Stone' on the 1840 OS 6-inch map where it is depicted standing on the line of the ‘Parliamentary Boundary’ of Limerick City. This stone marked the boundary between the jurisdiction of the Mayor of Limerick City and the rest of the county which was outside his governance. The stone is not indicated at this location on the 1897 OS 25-inch map. The stone is visible on Google Earth imagery taken 28/06/2018. The stone was described in 1913 as following; ‘The Carrigparson stone measures 2 feet 2 inches [0.66m] by three feet three inches [1m], and the inscription is in contracted Roman capitals: as The Liberties of the City of Limerick ascertained 1786, Sir Christopher Knight, Mayor’ (Barry 1913, 238).
