Inscribed stone in Corkan

Situated in a small natural rise, in gently undulating pasture. Described in 1977 as a large stone which lies on the centre of the floor of a Man-made underground passage (WM017-057----). The letter ‘U’ and possibly ‘I’ is picked out of the upper surface. A second field report of 1977 describes this stone as having a number of grooves which appear to have been enlarged by pocking. This inscribed stone could be a possible ogham stone. A second possible ogham stone (WM017-054002-) liew on entrance avenue to Oldtown house c. 425m to W.
