The National Monuments Service's description

One of two ogham stones (see WA003-007003- for the second, now lost, ogham stone) used as a lintel in a souterrain (WA003-007005-) in a rath (WA003-007001-). A displaced lintel (slate, measuring 1.37 x 0.42 x 0.15) with an ogham inscription was read by Macalister (1945, 295, no. 307) as MODDAGN[I] MAQI GATTAGN[I] MUCOI LUGNI. (Moore 1999, no. 1501)
