Formerly acting as the jamb of a cart-house door in a farmyard. A slate slab (H 5ft 8in; 2ft x 51/2in) with the top broken off. Part of the inscription was buried when it was read by Macalister (1945, 82, no. 79) and Barry (1897, 43). The opposing jamb may have been part of the same stone, or of similar provenance. The inscription reads as follows: ELUNA MUC……RAN; the extra three letters run along the top. The first three strokes of the R are damaged but the A is clear and the first three strokes of the N are faint but legible. No other letters are discernible (pers. comm. Fionnbarr Moore, 17 April 2015). Macalister and O'Kelly (1944, 9) imply that the ogham stone is from a Man-made underground passage (CO066-01002-) in Rathcanning fort (CO066-01001-) c. 450m to the N, in which a possible ogham fragment was also found (CO066-053----). Barry, however, states that the slab had been in position at the time of his visit for 80 years and had been taken from a Man-made underground passage 'in the next field' (CO066-00054---). This stone is in the National Museum of Ireland storage facility at Daingean, Co. Offaly (OF018-198----). (Power et al. 1994, no. 4235) Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 19 March 2016
