Ogham stone

The National Monuments Service's description

Faisi's Grave/Uaigh Fais: A large slab, lying prostrate in a field on the W side of Glenfais, bears a simple incised cross, an ogham inscription and an inscription in half-uncial script. The stone measures 3.4m long x 1.8m wide x c. 0.5m thick. Rhys (1891, 654) referred to the site as a 'low cromlech', but there is no visible evidence to support this identification. The ogham inscription extends 1.1m along the upper S edge of the stone. It is still quite legible, although the side scores are reversed (S for C, Q for N etc). Corrected it reads:
CONUNETT MOQI CONu/eRI
Macalister's (1945, 167, no. 176) U of CONURI is uncertain as it is difficult to be sure of the number of vowel notches intended. McManus suggests e/i (1997, 66).
Alongside this is the inscription in half-uncials which Macalister read as:
FECT CUNURI
The C and final U of the 2nd word are difficult to make out. (Cuppage 1986, no. 800)
