The National Monuments Service's description
Found acting as a lintel in an outhouse in the townland, this ogham stone was removed by Canon Sweeney and when last recorded (O'Connell 1939, 45) lay in an empty house near the vicarage. Its present location has not been established. It measured 2 foot 9 inches (.8m) long (Macalister 1945, 160-1) and the inscription, damaged at both ends, read:
MAQ)I DROGNO MUC(COI)
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 795. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
