The National Monuments Service's description
This is one of fifteen ogham stones (CO055-007002-; CO055-007005- - CO055-007018-) found covering a souterrain (CO055-007003-). The stone was lifted and read by Rev. E. Barry in the 19th century and then replaced. Thirteen stones were subsequently lifted by the occupiers; 12 of which are now on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork. This stone, being heavy, was left in place and there is now no visible surface trace. Barry's reading, corrected by Rhys, was ERACOBI MAQI ERAQETAI (Macalister 1945, 86, no. 84). (Power et al. 1994, no. 4217)
