Ogham stone in An Eaglais (corca Dhuibhne)

Ogham stone

What is recorded here

An Eaglais, Corca Dhuibhne. A 0.9m ogham stone still stands beside a tomb after its cross-inscribed sibling left for the National Museum in the mid-19th century. Its broken edge and faint CELI AVI VU scores preserve a name half-taken by time, while the missing stone continues the same local conversation in a distant room.
Aglish church (KE054-032001-) and graveyard (KE054-032002-): A cross-inscribed ogham stone [ke054-032003-], now in the NMI, was removed from the site in the mid-19th century and this 2nd ogham stone remains standing beside one of the tombs. This stone measures 0.9m in height x 0.25m in width. The ogham inscription which occupies the NW angle was read by Macalister (1945, 138, no. 142) as: CELI AVI VU... None of the vowels of Macalister's reading are clear. The single score on the H-side at the end of the inscription where the stone is broken, could be the first score of a D, T, C or Q. Macalister also noted some ogham scores on the NE angle but these are no longer discernible. (Cuppage 1986, no. 810) See attached plan and photograph courtesy of Laurence Dunne and screenshot of 3D model accessible at http://www.corcadhuibhne3d.ie/index.php/node/45 This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
