The National Monuments Service's description
According to Power (1899, WAJ, 147) there were local reports that there were originally three stones on the hillock of Seemochuda. The surviving ogham stone (WA011-003001-) formed the back of the Saint's chair (now in University College Cork), but the other two stones, possibly ogham stones, were rolled down the slope into the stream to the W. The stones are not identified.
