The National Monuments Service's description
This ogham stone was found by Windele in 1836 in the old churchyard (KE003-008001-) of Kilnaughtin on this townland (given as Cockhill townland, bordering on Carhoona): it lay about six feet from the S.E. angle of the Church (KE003-008----) in the burial ground (Macalister 1945, 222-223, no. 228). It is now in the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford. The dimensions (converted from Macalister, ibid) are 0.75 x 0.15 x 0.1m and the fragmentary inscription was read as: --MA]Q[I] BROCI.
