The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated inscribed stone described by Cuppage (1986, 351, no. 906) as this 'dressed slab, with a series of markings, [which] was discovered at a calluragh in this area (CKFC 1949) [in the vicinity of Murirrigane townland]'. According to Cuppage (ibid.) the calluragh was probably KE026-006---- but there is a possibility that it was the burial ground KE026-007---- at Ballymore. The present whereabouts of the stone is not known and 'it was therfore not possible to determine whether the markings represent a script, as believed by the Co. Kerry Field Club, or whether they were natural or accidental' (ibid.).
