Anent the meaning for a butting stone. It appears that it was Child who stated that this was a stepping stone. Stepping stones were usually in burns or rivers, not the place to bury a childs body. I would suggest that the stone so called would be a knocking stone. most rural habitations and farms having such a stone. Mention is made of the plantations in regards to Moran. In Leitrim we find Hamilton Castle and its adjoining town Manorhamilton, The castle having been built in the early 1630s by a relative of Hamilton of Hamilton/Montgomery fame? noted for their plantation of Antrim et al in 1606. On another subject it is noted that Child 66 mentions a Lord Ingram. For the past 65 years I have been looking for a place called Ingram the locale of a song I sing called the "Ingram Servant Lass". Anyone have any notion of where to find this place?
