Recorded monuments

• RO020-057 Inauguration stone (present location)
  Description

  When a portion was broken off the inauguration stone of the O'Conor kings at Carnfree (RO028-69001-) it was moved to the avenue of Cargin House near Tulsk c. 1840 by the landowner Daniel Kelly to prevent further damage by quarrying at the original site (Jones 1922-3). It has since been moved to the grounds of Clonalis House in the 1970s, although its authenticity as an inauguration stone is doubtful (FitzPatrick 2004, 113-5). It is a roughly rectangular limestone block (dims of base 0.8m x 0.4m; H 0.45-0.55m) with a subrectangular upper surface (dims 0.9m x 0.35-0.6m) which has an oval hollow (dims 0.3 x 0.1m; D 0.7m) divided in two by a ridge at the base to represent a footprint.
