What is recorded here

Situated in a hummocky field in pasture. A roughly triangular-shaped conglomerate boulder (dims. 0.86m x 0.78m; D 0.27m) with a large, deep, circular depression (diam. 0.35m; D 0.2m) and a large round sandstone rock (dims. 0.4m x 0.3m) placed in the depression. There are a number of smaller stones around the base of the boulder. The townland name of 'Kyle' suggests the former presence of a church. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
