What is recorded here

According to Mullally (1862-63, 148) there is 'an anicent stone in a garden in Cloran, near Fethard (Tip.). It is placed near a large tree, which is a 'leacht,' or monument tree'. The garden mentioned appears to be that associated with the house nearest the burial ground (TS071-011--6-) at Cloran Old, however, there is no surviving tradition of a holy tree in this area and its location within Cloran Old townland is unknown.

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
