What is recorded here

Kilconnell church vanished beside the Liagan stone, but neither marker survives to prove the loss. O’Flanagan wrote in 1927 that the standing stone was already destroyed, turning a sacred neighbourhood into an empty field. Whatever the stone guarded, human hands removed it before modern memory could hold it.

Associated with a church (GA086-124001-). According to OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 593-4), the above mentioned church stood 'near a standing stone called the Liagan of Kilconnell which is … now destroyed'. No visible surface trace of either structure survives. Possibly a standing stone or a boundary marker associated with the church. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
