What is recorded here
Morett still hides a standing stone though no one remembers where. The 1563 map of Leix and Offaly pointed to it, and forgetting began soon after. Perhaps it fell, was buried, or people simply stopped walking that part of the field.
Unlocated standing Stone within townland identified from 1563 map of Leix and Offaly.
