Note 7 — BLARNEY CASTLE MR. AND MRS. S. C. HALL
Reading edition
The Rev. Matthew Horgan, the parish priest of Blarney, informs us that “the curious traveller will seek in vain for the real stone, unless he allows himself to be lowered from the northern angle of the lofty castle, when he will discover it about twenty feet from the top with this inscription:—
Cormac MacCarthy Fortis, Me Fieri Fecit. A. D., 1446.”
