Six ogham stones, reused as roof lintels, were found in a souterrain (KE057-023001-) in a rath (KE057-023----) in this townland (Barry 1891, 516). Macalister (1945, 239) noted that four of the stones were taken from the souterrain and used in the building of a cottage in the village of Laharan. Subsequently three of the four stones were removed to Lord Dunraven's mansion at Adare (ibid.) where they still are (see LI021-034003-, LI021-034004-, LI021-034005-). The fourth was left behind, and 'is now lost to sight' (ibid., 240). This stone, now at Adare Manor (LI021-034003-), was described by Brash (1879, 222) as an irregular pillar of pale red sandstone 'standing 4ft. 11in. [1.25m]) above ground, 9in. square [0.23m]) at bottom, and 8in [0.2m] by 4in [0.1m]) at top' and 'having two angles on the same face inscribed'. Macalister (1945, 240, no. 243) also described this stone and read its inscription as
