The National Monuments Service's description
This rath (KE054-006----) and souterrain (KE054-006001-) are located on a N facing slope overlooking the Lispole valley. Three ogham stones (see also KE054-006004- and KE054-006005-) and a cross-slab were reused in the construction of the souterrain. This ogham inscription occupies both angles on the E side of the stone. It was read by Macalister (1945 136, no. 139) as: LAIDANN MAQI MACORBO. (Cuppage 1986, no. 285)
