The National Monuments Service's description
Recorded as grit stone (H 4ft; 1ft 3in x 6in), this is one of 15 ogham stones (CO055-007002-; CO055-007005- - CO055-007018-) found covering a souterrain (CO055-007003-). The stone is currently on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork (for details see CO074-156----). The inscription is boldly chiselled but chipped, resulting in a lacuna which could hold 8-10 scores. It was read by Macalister (1945, 91, no. 92) and McManus (2004, 19, no. 17.) as ACTO MAQI[....]MAGO. (Power et al. 1994, no. 4225)
