What is recorded here

In the graveyard of Elphin cathedral (RO016-127001-) there was a 'font stone' which it was commonly believed held the imprint of St Patrick's knee. This relic was destroyed by rebels in 1641 (Burke 1895, 112). This may have been a bullaun stone rather than a font, but it does not survive.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
