The National Monuments Service's description
This ogham stone (1.22m x 0.51m x 0.3m, converted from Macalister 1945, 6, no. 4) was found built into the wall of a church (MA093-045001-) and is now in the National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-355----). It is inscribed on all four angles, 2 inscriptions (2nd unintelligible), boustrophedon/up-top-down. These have been read by McManus (1991, 65) as: LUGADDON MAqi LuGUDEC and DDISI MO. . .CQU SEL. Macalister (ibid.) read DDISIMO [--]CQU[!B]EL) for the second.
