Ogham stone in Barnaveddoge

Situated just W of the summit of a high E-W ridge. This is a large block-like boulder (max. dims. H 2.1m, 1.2m by 0.9m in section) orientated NW-SE. The lower corners of the stone have been worn smooth by cattle scratching. The remains of an ogham inscription, probably added to the existing standing stone early in the first millennium AD, can be seen on the upper part of the E corner. This inscription, as read from the base up, has been transliterated as 'BRANOGENI' by Macalister (CLAJ 1915, 385-6; 1945, 44, no. 39).
