The National Monuments Service's description

This is the present location of 1 of 6 ogham stones (CO085-067006- with CO085-067003-; CO085-067004-; CO085-067005-; CO085-067007-; CO085-067008-) discovered in 1846 built into souterrain (CO085-067002-), in the SW quadrant of a ringfort (CO085-067001-), at Ballyhank, Co. Cork. The inscription is cut on one angle of the stone (1.3m; 0.6m x 0.2m), read by Macalister (1945, 97, no. 100) as AB ULCCAGNI. Macalister (1945, 97, no. 100) thought the prefix AB an abbreviation of Abbot. According to McManus (1991, 61) the AB 'is best ignored.' (Power et al. 1997, no. 7951)

This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. To access details go to the following website: https://ogham.celt.dias.ie/search.php?ciic=100
