The National Monuments Service's description
There is a reference to an 'ogham stone' located in the Clais Pond in this area (J. O'Dooley, 43; SMR file). While it is possible that were markings on the stone which the author interpreted as ogham the evidence is not sufficient to warrant accepting it a genuine example of this class. The area was inspected in 1990 but there was no visible surface remains. The field is locally known as the Clais Field or Hollow Field (SMR file). The location provided here can only be considered as approximate.
