The National Monuments Service's description
The ogham inscription is found along three sides of a lintel stone (1.7m x 0.51m x 0.25m, converted from Macalister 1945) in a souterrain (CO050-062002-), which is now inaccessible, although the stone is presumably still in position. Macalister (1945, 111, no. 109) read the inscription as UDDMENSA CELI NETTASLOGI.
(Power et al. 1997, no. 7968)
