What is recorded here

Within the SE half of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (LF020-033----). Described by Crawford (1926, 124-5) as a tall pillar stone 'spike-like' in appearance, located 'on the top and rather to the south' of the children's burial ground (LF020-033001-). It was set into a rectangular socket within a circular flat base stone (diam. c. 0.9m; T 0.25m) that was broken into two pieces. These were drawn by du Noyer (1864, vol. VI (20)). A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted the socket stone but no visible surface trace of it or the pillar stone survives. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 5 June 2013
