Near the village of Loggan in County Wexford, just south of a medieval motte and bailey, a stone known as Leac Mhic Eochadha once marked a place of remarkable significance. A motte and bailey is a Norman fortification type consisting of a raised earthen mound, or motte, topped by a timber or stone tower, accompanied by an enclosed courtyard, the bailey, at its base. That such a monument should stand in close proximity to what appears to have been a much older ceremonial site says something about the long layering of authority in this particular patch of north Wexford.

The stone is associated with the inauguration site of the Uí Cinsealaigh, a powerful Leinster dynasty whose territory centred on the area around Gorey. The identification comes largely from Orpen, writing in 1911, though he acknowledged some uncertainty due to the phrasing of the Irish sources. What is less ambiguous is the stone's later history. In 1592, landholders from three distinct territories, the Kinsellaghs to the north of Gorey, Kilcheele to the west, and the Macamores to the east and south (corresponding roughly to modern Ballaghkeen North), gathered at this spot to meet Henry Sidney, the Lord Deputy of Ireland, and seek title deeds under English law. The scene is a striking one: an ancient inauguration stone repurposed as a convenient assembly point during the Elizabethan plantation process, the old Gaelic landscape being renegotiated into English legal tenure. Cist burials, stone-lined prehistoric graves, were also discovered in the vicinity, suggesting the site had held some significance long before either dynasty or coloniser arrived. The stone itself has since been lost, its exact position uncertain, though early sources place it somewhere to the south of the bailey.
