The National Monuments Service's description

Located just inside the bank of the ecclesiastical enclosure (WA032-029001-) at W. The stone is of slate and is in two fragments (1.42m x 0.49m x 0.15m). The inscription was read by Macalister (1945, 290-91, no. 300) as CUNNETAS MAQI GUC[OI] NETA-SEGAMONAS but McManus (1991 7, 94) notes that there is space for an expected A between the two Ns of CUN[A]NETAS and that it makes more sense to read MM than G for the two strokes before UC[OI]. (Moore 1999, no. 1490)

This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. To access details go to the following website: http://ogham.celt.dias.ie/search.php?ciic=300
