What is recorded here

Cross-inscribed stone in An Tseanchill (par. Rinn Ó Gcuanach) is a cross-inscribed stone in An Tseanchill (par. Rinn Ó Gcuanach), County Waterford, Ireland. This sandstone slab, measuring roughly 0.35 metres by 0.24 metres with a thickness of 0.07 metres, was discovered on an old church site on the floodplain of the Licky River. It carries the Latin inscription AEDUIE and two small crosses on the same face, a reading confirmed as correct by Macalister in 1945. The stone subsequently disappeared, a fact recorded in the 1952 account.

Located on the floodplain of the NW-SE Licky River with the stream c. 200m to the NE, and at the bottom of a N-facing, grass-covered slope. It is described as an old church site where a bullaun stone (WA035-016002-) and a small cross-inscribed stone with an inscription were found (Power 1910; 1952, 130). The inscribed stone (dims. c. 0.35m x 0.24m; T 0.07m) is of sandstone and the inscription, written in the Latin alphabet, was read by Power as AEDUI and by Macalister (1945, vol. 1, 109-10) as AEDUIE, which is correct. There are two small crosses inscribed in the same face of the stone. The cross-inscribed stone subsequently disappeared (Power, 1952, 130). Power, Rev. P.
