What is recorded here

The ritual site in Rathgallen, Thomastown Demesne South is in County Tipperary, Ireland. The 1654 to 1656 Civil Survey named a Kilfeakle boundary stone Athgluny patrick, meaning the Place of Patrick's knees. The 2013 compilation said the name possibly referred to a bullaun stone with two basins linked to St Patrick and left the stone unlocated within the two townlands.

In describing the boundaries of the parish of Kilfeakle the Civil Survey (1654-6) mentions 'from Knockanenenyny to a stone called Athgluny patrick' (Simington 1934, vol.2, 24). The name of this stone translates as the 'Place of Patrick's knees' and possibly refers to a bullaun stone with two basins which was associated with St Patrick. This holy/saint's stone is unlocated within the townlands of Rathgallen and Thomastown Demesne South. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 28 January 2013
