Discovery:first mentioned, 1869 Brash, R.R.
History:Macalister/1945, 206: `In 1869 Brash...was directed to a fragment leaning against the wall of a cottage in the village: which fragment...had been raised from a souterrain in the neighbourhood, and for a time had been used locally as a door-lintel'. Macalister then goes on to say that he saw this stone `in or about 1896, when it was lying, much as Brash saw it, beside a cottage. Some fourteen years later I saw it again; it had by then been moved, and was lying on a manure-heap in the village. Later I heard from Capt. O'Connell that it could not be found. I visited the place subsequently, and made many enquiries...but all in vain. For the time being, at least, the stone is lost, and cannot be traced'.
