The National Monuments Service's description
This is the original location for one of two ogham stones (see also CO039-062005-) discovered in 1981 when a souterrain (CO039-062002-) within a ringfort (CO039-062001-) was uncovered during quarrying. The site was subsequently excavated and the two stones which acted as lintels in chamber 2 of the souterrain, were removed to Millstreet Community School. This stone (1.90m x .40m x .15m) was subsequently moved to Millstreet Museum where it is on display (see CO039-244001-). The inscription on this stone was visible when the lintel was in place (pers. comm. B. O Donnabháin). It reads downwards in it’s current position as follows: COLMANN MACI COMGGANN. (Power et al. 1997, no. 7976)
