The National Monuments Service's description

This record was created for the present location of an inscribed stone originally from Mill Street, Ennis (now Parnell Street). It was for a time in Edenvale (CL041-059----) but it is presently in the restored tower house at Dysert O’Dea (CL025-095002-) (Ó Murchadha 1991, 33-4). The inscription, in roman capitals, reads 'THIS HOUSE AND THE FRONT WAS BUILT AND FINISED BY GEOARGE STACPOLE MEARCHANT IN THE YEARE ANNO DOMINI 1687.' (Westropp 1895-7, 38)
