What is recorded here

Carhoona holds a broken stone marked MAQI BROCI, pulled from the Kilnaughtin churchyard in 1836 and carried to Oxford. It measures less than a metre, yet it carries a name across centuries. The churchyard gave up its secret reluctantly, hiding the marker beneath soil and forgetting the hands that placed it there.

This ogham stone was found by Windele in 1836 in the old churchyard (KE003-008001-) of Kilnaughtin on this townland (given as Cockhill townland, bordering on Carhoona): it lay about six feet from the S.E. angle of the Church (KE003-008----) in the burial ground (Macalister 1945, 222-223, no. 228). It is now in the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford. The dimensions (converted from Macalister, ibid) are 0.75 x 0.15 x 0.1m and the fragmentary inscription was read as: --MA]Q[I] BROCI.
