The National Monuments Service's description

An ogham stone (grit, 1.32 x 0.38 x 0.28m; see WA005-014003-), originally from the central structure at Tooracurragh church site (WA005-014001-) and known as the 'stone of Formach' (Lyons 1946), is now at a nearby farmhouse. The inscription was read by Macalister (1945, 291, no. 301) as DOMOKI. It also has a cart-wheel design in false relief and an incised Latin cross. (Moore 1999, 1500)
