The National Monuments Service's description
This is the present location of the ogham stone (in Cork Public Museum, ref. L.188) which is recorded by Cuppage (1986, no. 811) has having been ‘bought by UCC in 1940 from Mr. Garret Fitzgerald and its provenance was given as Parkalassa Fort, Annagap (UCC). No ringfort in the townland is known by this name but the N half of Lisnakilla was owned by Mr. Fitzgerald and the present landowner confirms that it was from here that the ogham stone originally came. The stone measures .3 x .1m x .04m thick and is broken at both ends. The inscription reads: TA)Q MAQ(I... Only the first 2 scores of the I remain and that portion of the stone which bore the first 2 letters (Macalister 1945, 139) is now missing.’ (See KE044-065003- for the record of its original location.)
