What is recorded here

O'Donovan wrote in 1838 that St. Patrick's Pillar stood in Bawn, but no visible trace remains for later seekers. The clay may have swallowed the stone or people may have moved it during field work. Either way, the pillar lost its shape while the name kept its edge.

According to O'Donovan (1838, 385), 'St. Patrick's Pillar' is in this townland. No visible surface trace. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 60.
