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-). This, the fourth, was left behind, and 'is now lost to sight'. Described by Macalister (1945, 240-41, no. 245) as a fragment 'about 1ft [0.3m] in length' that was lost but was said to have been inscribed with the unintelligible sequence of letters V?GOLAM'. Macalister also recorded that this stone was built into the gable of the a house of a man named Patrick Quirk (ibid., 241).
