The National Monuments Service's description
This mantle stone was originally located over a fireplace in Park Castle (GA018-058----) which was the home of the Mac Egans, hereditary brehons of the O Conors of Connacht (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 267). It is now incorporated into one of the walls of the National School in Clonbern. The stone is dated 1627 and bears an inscription in Irish which translates ‘Cormac Mac Aodhagáin made this work at the time of the age of the Lord, one thousand six hundred and twenty seven’ (information from Prof. E. FitzPatrick 20 March 2019). (Melvin c. 1971, 12-13)
