What is recorded here

Anglont House keeps a garden where a cupped stone once sat between two rocks, visible to everyone passing that prominent spot. People locally called it an ogham stone, perhaps mistaking ancient marks for letters or refusing to accept that the shape belonged to nobody else. A mechanical digger later broke the stone completely, removing the last physical trace of the place. What remains is a gap in the garden, large enough to walk through and measure the difference between memory and loss.

In the garden of Anglont House. In the 1930s Capt. D. B. O'Connell recorded a 'cupped stone' in Anglont townland. There are no visible remains of any cup-marked stone here. Locally the stone was thought to be an ogham stone. It was set between two rocks in a prominent position in the garden but was subsequently broken. According to local information, the stone was totally destroyed by a mechanical digger. A deeply carved cup-and-ring design was recorded by Finola Finlay in 1972.
