The National Monuments Service's description
‘A cross-inscribed ogham stone, now in the NMI [DU018-399----], was removed from the site in the mid-19th century and a 2nd ogham stone (KE054-032004-) remains standing beside one of the tombs. One face of this stone bears a Maltese cross within a circle, beneath which is a spear-or arrow-like motif flanked on either side by a swastika. Two very faint circular marks were noted by Macalister (1945, 137, no. 141) below the stem of the arrow but these are not now evident. The ogham inscription, inverted with respect to the cross, occupies both angles of the same face. Part of the inscription is now missing and the remainder was read by Macalister as: MAQI MAQ(I....O)GGODIKA’. (Cuppage 1986, no. 810)
