The National Monuments Service's description
O'Sullivan and Sheehan (1996, 354, no. 1089; 428, no. 1480) record that this stone was discovered during the demolition of an old house near Killoughane Church (KE065-058----) in the late 1980s. However, the precise location of the house in which it was found is not given and while the stone is likely to have been associated with Killoughane church it is not certain that it was. Therefore its original location (KE065-124----) must remain unknown. This stone is 18th-century in date (pers. comm. J. Sheehan).
