What is recorded here
Monumental Pillar stands one metre twenty tall in Kilcaskan graveyard, just southeast of the church, its top broken away and a name half-erased. What remains reads LUGUQRIT and LONAS, the middle lost to time or violence. Whoever set it there wanted the gap itself remembered: a life interrupted, a identity only half returned.
In Kilcaskan graveyard (CO103-003001-) just SE of the church (CO103-003002-). An upright stone (H 1.2m; 0.23m x 0.18m) bearing an ogham inscription, which Macalister (1945, 72, no. 68) read as LUGUQRIT.....LONAS. The middle section is missing as the top of the stone is broken off. (Power et al. 1992, no. 1040)
