The National Monuments Service's description
This ogham stone was found near Camp about the middle of the 19th century. It was removed by Mr. Day to the grounds of Beaufort House, near Killarney (KE065-127----), where it remains today. It stands 1.25m high and is .48m wide x .2m thick. A perforation near the top of the stone suggests that it may at one time have functioned as a gatepost. The surface of the stone is very rough and the inscription, particularly the vowels, is not easy to read. Macalister (1945, 169, no. 177) interpreted it as:
CCILARI AV(I) ....COI VAG...
Traces of a 2nd inscription are discernible near the top of one of the opposite angles. The letters ANI remain. (Cuppage 1986, no. 801)
