The National Monuments Service's description
Two ogham stones were dislodged by a flood which affected the bed of a stream in this townland (Macalister 1945, 162-3; O'Sullivan 1931, 398). According to Curran, the find place was near Kilfountan Church (KE043-144003-). This record relates to the one that was broken up for building material. The 2nd was preserved for a while in a farmhouse near Kildrum graveyard (KE143-130001-) and then removed to the grounds of St. Brendan's Seminary in Killarney where it remains today (see KE066-099---).
