## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- RO020-057: Inauguration stone (present location), https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO020-057----. 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.

On a level landscape, c. 80m N of the W-E River Suck. A double gable-ended, five-bay, two storey over basement house of the early 18th century with wings of three bays and one storey over basement. There was a large chimney stack on each gable, and a porch was added. It was the residence of the O'Conor Don until New Cloonalis House was built 1878-1880. The ruins survive.

Marked as a circular wooded and embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) c. 40m SE of old Cloonalis House (RO026-018----) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a level landscape. This is a low oval grass-covered mound (dims c. 34m E-W; c. 30m N-S; max. H 1.5m) with three mature deciduous trees. It may be a landscape feature.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
