According to Fleming (1903, 210), a plaque which bore the Fitzgerald arms, the letters IEG (John fitzEdmund fitzGerald) and the date 1606, was removed from a 'castle' (CO088-019008-) in Cloyne which was destroyed in 1798. The precise location of this armorial plaque is not known. The same initials with a date of 1578 can be seen on an armorial plaque in the wall of Cloyne House (CO088-019010----). (Zajac et al. 1995, 29)

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
