What is recorded here

Inscribed stone in Carrick (rathernan Ed): A large, flattish boulder, possibly limestone, was found on the Hill of Allen in 1961 and moved outside the doorway of Ballyteague Castle. It bore a compass-drawn palmette design, yet vanished before a 1999 inspection. The stone may have been buried, broken, or simply forgotten by the castle itself.

Described by Rynne (SMR file, 1962) as 'a large, flattish boulder (limestone?)' apparently found on the Hill of Allen in 1961, and moved to outside the doorway of Ballyteague Castle (KD013-020----). Rynne's sketch shows an apparently compass-drawn palmette-style design. An inspection in 1999 failed to locate this stone. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 22 March 2014
