The National Monuments Service's description

This is the present location of the ogham stone which orginally stood in Rathcobane townland (see CO054-067----). The stone (H c. 1.3m; 0.33m x 0.26m) was moved to the grounds of Scoil an Easpaig O Briain (Bishop O'Brien School), Bartlemy in 1986 (Power et al. 1994, no. 4239).
The weathered inscription was interpreted by Macalister (1945, 70, no. 65) as LOGA MAQI SDANBI. He also noted that one James Ward has written his name in ogham on the other edge of the same face.
