What is recorded here

Faisi's Grave is a 3.4m slab lying flat in a Kerry field, marked with a cross, reversed ogham scores and half-uncial letters. It is not a cromlech, though an old writer called it one. The stone still carries the name Conuri, perhaps spelled through another man's doubt. Under the soil and grass, Faisi may still be waiting for someone to read the grave twice.

Faisi's Grave/Uaigh Fais: A large slab, lying prostrate in a field on the W side of Glenfais, bears a simple incised cross, an ogham inscription and an inscription in half-uncial script. The stone measures 3.4m long x 1.8m wide x c. 0.5m thick. Rhys (1891, 654) referred to the site as a 'low cromlech', but there is no visible evidence to support this identification. The ogham inscription extends 1.1m along the upper S edge of the stone. It is still quite legible, although the side scores are reversed (S for C, Q for N etc). Corrected it reads: CONUNETT MOQI CONu/eRI Macalister's (1945, 167, no. 176) U of CONURI is uncertain as it is difficult to be sure of the number of vowel notches intended. McManus suggests e/i (1997, 66). Alongside this is the inscription in half-uncials which Macalister read as: FECT CUNURI The C and final U of the 2nd word are difficult to make out.
