The National Monuments Service's description
It is alleged that an ogham stone was broken up at St Marnock's Well (DU015-007002-) beside St Marnock's church in 1854 (Ó Danachair 1958, 78). Supposedly thrown into the fill of the well at this time, or used as building material, it was roughly sketched in 1868 by Rev. J. Shearman (Skyvova 2005, 60; Macalister 1945, 20-21, no. 18).
