The National Monuments Service's description
This is the present location of an ogham stone (CO061-080007-) 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 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)
