The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered in a burial ground (CO060-040002-) within an enclosure (CO060-040001-) by the tenant farmer and presented by him to the antiquarian John Windele, who visited site in 1851 (Brash 1879, 133). The stone is now in the possession of the Pitt-Rivers Museum at Oxford (Macalister 1906a, 169-72). Brash (ibid.) gave the inscription as MUDDOSSA M (A) QQA AT. Macalister (1945, 112, no. 111), reading the inscription in the opposite direction, came up with FAANN MACCOLLUM and concluded that 'the inscription is a forgery'. Two further possible ogham stones (CO060-185----, CO060-187----) are also associated with the site (Power et al. 1997, no. 7994)
