What is recorded here

Six ogham stones served as roof lintels inside a hidden underground passage within a rath at Rockfield Middle before humans rearranged them. Four moved into a Laharan cottage, three left for Adare, and the last vanished from sight. The surviving stones still bridge rooms or mark halls elsewhere, carrying old cuts into new buildings while the missing one remains absent from every known list.

Six ogham stones, reused as roof lintels, were found in a Man-made underground passage (KE057-023001-) in a rath (KE057-023----) in the townland of Rockfield Middle (Barry 1891, 516). Macalister (1945, 239) noted that four of the stones were taken from the Man-made underground passage and used in the building of a cottage in the village of Laharan. Subsequently three of the four stones were removed to Lord Dunraven's mansion at Adare (ibid.) where they still are. The fourth was left behind, and 'is now lost to sight'. (ibid., 240).
