The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered in 1838 during the demolition of an 18th century Church of Ireland parish church in Aghabulloge graveyard (CO061-080002-). It is one of two ogham stones from the site, the second (CO061-080005-) remains in situ. This stone is currently on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork (for details see CO074-142---- ). It is in a damaged condition but was read by Macalister (1945, 105-6, no. 105) as ANM NETACUNAS CELI VIDETTAS; McManus (1991, 95; 2004, 21, no. 23) considered the first two words 'a rash reconstruction', whilst Power (1932, 21) was of the opinion that it was 'useless speculating as to the original inscription'. (Power et al. 1997, no. 7960)
