The National Monuments Service's description
This is the present location for the ogham stone from Donoghmore, Co. Kildare (KD006-005002-). Discovered in 1902 by Lord Walter Fitzgerald (1903-5, 26) in the NE sector of Donaghmore graveyard (KD006-005004-), where, according to O'Hanluain (1935-45, 170), it marked an O'Farrell family grave. Macalister (1945, 130-1, no. 26) recorded the stone's dimensions (0.76 x 0.36 x 0.23m, converted from Macalister) and read the inscription as: NETTAVRECC [KOI] MAQI MUCCOI TRENALUGGO. McManus (1997, 66, 79) suggested that there was enough room for a more likely NETTAVROICC or NETTAVROECC and that Macalister's KOI was doubtful.
