The National Monuments Service's description
This ogham stone (0.86m x 0.23m x 0.15m) was found incorporated in the fabric of the N wall of Temple-na-Griffin (KE020-046001-) where it is now housed (Moore 2007, 37). The inscription is badly damaged with some text surviving on two angles (up-down?), pocked in bold scores: ỌC[ ̣ ̣ ? ̣ ̣]/[ ̣ ̣ ? ̣ ̣]GIC[ ̣ ̣ ? ̣ ̣].
