The National Monuments Service's description
One of two ogham stones (0.9m; 0.4m x 0.1m) discovered in souterrain (CO061-022001-) where it formed part of the 'upright stones' (Quarry 1896, 382); purchased by the Royal Irish Academy and now part of collection of National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-367----). According to Macalister (1945, 118-9, no. 119), broken in two but 'the reading is quite clear and certain'; he gave this as DALAGNI MAQI DALI. (Power 1997, 169-70, no. 7979)
