What is recorded here

Unlocated holy bush within townland described by Helen Roe her unpublished report entitled Rude Stone Monuments in County laoighis, as 'In Clonaddadoran on May Day bushes are decorated with flowers, coloured papers or strings of eggshells and stuck up outside the house in the middle of the yard. Families collected eggshells for months before hand - one family had 105 eggshells this May Day (1932)' Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007

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.
