What is recorded here

Not shown on 1842, 1904 and 1946 OS 6-inch maps. Location marked on 1904 OS 6-inch map by Munster Archaeological Survey (UCC). In level pasture, on S side of Cloneera Wood. Removed; no visible surface trace. Conlon (1918, 125) noted three stones here in marshy ground, two standing and one prostrate. A is 2 feet high, 1 foot 6 inches broad, 11 inches thick. B is 3 feet 9 inches hight, 2 feet 8 inches broad, 11 inches thick, 4 feet 10 inches from A. C (prostrate); is 5 feet 8 inches long, 3 feet 5 inches broad, 2 feet 4 inches thick, 4 feet 1 inch from B'. He suggested that there may have been a stone circle here as there were several other stones lying around.
