What is recorded here

An inscribed stone (L 1.18m) is visible on the internal wall-face of the W wall of Teampall Bhreacáin (GA110-010001-). The inscription reads: OR[ÓIT] AR 11 CANOIN (Waddell 1973, 9, 16, no. 1). (Crawford 1913, 153 (e); Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 382, no. 102) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 March 2016
Dated to the early Christian period, likely 8th to 10th century AD, the inscription may reference a religious or monastic rule, possibly connected to the canonical hours or a local saint. Its placement within a church wall suggests a liturgical or commemorative function.
