Blackett, just outside the eastern entrance of the graveyard of the ruined church of Temple (F)enoach...Brash...sought for the stone and failed to find it (1869). In Hitchcock's notebook I find the information that it was situated a quarter of a mile north of Ballyquin...In a notebook left behind by Rev. Canon Hewson...I find the record that he `searched the cemetery inside and outside...but could not find it or hear anything of it'. He was told, however, of a `tall upright stone on the townland of Curraghnagarraha'...Subsequently Canon Power and I searched for the stone, only to find that it had been broken up and that the fragments had been used in building a field-wall'. |
