The National Monuments Service's description
One of two ogham stones (see WA003-007004- for second ogham stone) used as a lintel in a souterrain (WA003-007005-) in a rath (WA003-007001-). According to Macalister (1909, 296; 1945, 296, no. 308), this stone was at this location 'till about 1845' when 'in or about that year ... it was taken out and trimmed to make a roller for breaking earth-clods in the fields'. The inscription on this ogham stone was not recorded and it is now unlocated.
