What is recorded here
Indicated marks an ogham stone broken at St Marnock's Well in County Dublin in 1854, perhaps buried in the well's fill or reused as building material. Rev. J. Shearman sketched its remains in 1868, preserving enough of its shape for the lost inscription to resist complete forgetting.
It is alleged that an ogham stone was broken up at St Marnock's Well (DU015-007002-) beside St Marnock's church in 1854 (Ó Danachair 1958, 78). Supposedly thrown into the fill of the well at this time, or used as building material, it was roughly sketched in 1868 by Rev. J. Shearman (Skyvova 2005, 60; Macalister 1945, 20-21, no. 18).
