According to Fitzgerald (1891-5, 337), ‘Many years ago this inscribed stone was seen by the 4th Duke of Leinster, used as a sill to a barn-door at Brennan’s farm, on the townland of Aghanure … now preserved at Kilkea Castle [KD037-017002-]; it measures 47 inches [c. 1.19m] in length, 12.5 inches [c. 0.32m] in breadth, and 7 inches [c. 0.18m] in thickness; the material is limestone, and the lettering is in relief.’ Its precise original location is no longer known, and record no. KD037-017011- was created for its present location at Kilkea. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 December 2013

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.
