What is recorded here

Situated on a steep NE-facing slope and just SE of the Roman Catholic church of Lisdoonan. A fragment of a mill-wheel that was never completed is a D-shaped stone (max. dims 2.25m x 1.3m; T 0.2-0.25m) with an unfinished central perforation (diam. 0.4m) and an unfinished edge. It is set up on two boulders with a level upper surface (H 0.7-0.85m) that is inscribed with ‘Leac an Aifrinn’ and an expanding cross (H 0.26m; span 0.16m). This was done c. 1913 when it was set up here but its original location, thought to be the top of Dunaree (Ó Gallachair 1957, 115), is unlikely, although it may have been in that townland.
