The National Monuments Service's description
At Emlaghnaghtan rath (SL033-083----). In the S half is a circular earthwork surrounded by a stone wall; on top of the enclosing bank on the S side of the earthwork is a stone memorial with a plaque bearing a coat of arms and inscribed 'RICHARD FLEMING WHO MADE THIS IN THE YEARE 1712'; there is an upright flower stem between the 17 and the 12. According to local tradition, this monument does not mark a burial and Richard Fleming is probably buried in Emlaghfad (SL033-144002-) with other members of that family (Flynn 2003-4, 22-3).
