What is recorded here

In 1953, R. B. Aldridge found a flat stone slab in the centre of a Corroy rath, marked with a large incised circle. He measured its irregular shape and sketched the symbol before the stone vanished from the site by 1996. The marker may have defined a sacred boundary or recorded a local agreement, yet it escaped later inspection and now resists easy identification.

In a rath (MA039-074001-). This record refers to a stone slab which was found in 1953 by R. B. Aldridge lying flat in the centre of the rath. He compiled brief notes and measurements, accompanied by a sketch which show an irregular shaped stone (L 3'6" [c. 1m]; Wth 3'1" [0.9m]; T 10" [0.2m]) with a circle (diam. 2' 2" [0.65m]) incised on one face (unpublished NMI Topographical Files/SMR file). The stone was not found during a 1996 inspection of the rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 April 2020
