What is recorded here

O'Leary (1896-99, 137) describes and sketches a slightly damaged rectangular stone (dims. H c. 0.75m; Wth c. 0.43m) which bears the coat of arms of John Lye, a date of 1578 and a fragmentary inscription, 'IHON. LY BILDED THIS T… ' which, he says, records the erection of a castle (KD003-017----). He states that the stone is, 'built into the porch of the thatched dwelling house of Mary Ennis, hard by'. It has not been located. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

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.
