What is recorded here
Breakage severed the final name, leaving Laddigni son of Muccoi half-erased on the western angle. The stone was dragged from its first life and buried inside a man-made passage on the Kerry slope, reducing a personal monument to anonymous rubble. Yet the chisel marks still cut through the dark, proving that even when men discard memory, stone refuses to forget the shape of the hand that struck it.
This rath (KE054-006----) and Man-made underground passage (KE054-006001-) are located on a N facing slope overlooking the Lispole valley. Three ogham stones (see also KE054-006002- and KE054-006005-) and a cross-slab were reused in the construction of the Man-made underground passage. This ogham inscription occupies the outside angle on the W side of the stone. It was read by Macalister (1945 135-6, no. 138) as: LADDIGNI MAQQI MUCCOI AN.... The stone is broken after the N and the remainder of the final name is missing. (Cuppage 1986, no. 285)
