The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated within townland, site of standing stone described in the OS field name books where it records the following 'This townland derives its name from a longstone which stood in the west corner of it, this stone was called "Cloghfadda" which signifies long stone and was broken up about 20 years ago and contained about 7 cart loads of limestone (O'Donovan et. al. 1840). This standing stone has been associated with a barrow (TN26-056) on Knockaunreagh in the NW of the townland.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
