What is recorded here

In a wall bounding a narrow road which forms the townland boundary between Brickeen and Bellanagarrigeeny or Castlebaldwin. A limestone slab (H 0.7m; Wth 0.55) set upright in the stone wall. A circular perforation (diam. 0.15m) centrally placed c. 0.55m below the top of the stone, extends obliquely (D c. 0.35m) through the thickness of the stone. This stone was described by Prof. R. A. S. Macalister (d. 1950) in an undated report (SMR (1989) file). The perforation appears to be a natural phenomenon. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC with revisions by Patrick F.
