The National Monuments Service's description
This is the present location of CO061-079003-. Discovered c. 1840 when flour mill demolished on site of possible ringfort (CO061-079001-); a second ogham stone apparently found with it (CO061-079004-). This stone (H 2.4m x 0.8m x 0.15m) was used as a foot bridge over Delehinagh river (Hartnett 1939, 74) until 1851, when erected nearby beside St. Olan's holy well (CO61-089002-), where it remains today (Macalister 1945, 120,no. 122). Inscription worn and damaged but read by Macalister (ibid.) as MADORA MAQI DEGO. (Power et al. 1997, no. 7962)
