Inscribed stone in Doobally

Inscribed stone

What is recorded here

The inscribed stone and the bullaun stone (LE001-063001-), which are now at Tullaghan Roman Catholic church (LE001-063002-), came from a fort in Doobally townland that was called Lisahurman fort, possibly this one. A limestone plaque (dims 1m x 0.34-0.38m) has an incised inscription in Latin commemorating Rev. Eugene Magowan who founded a chapel in 177?.

The inscribed stone in Doobally likely dates to the early medieval period and may have had a ritual or commemorative function, possibly linked to the nearby bullaun stone. Its association with Lisahurman fort suggests it could be connected to early Christian or prehistoric settlement activity in the area.
