What is recorded here
Seven ogham stones stand at Killeen Cormac, including one buried in the mound’s south-western edge. Its granite surface carries only UR, cut deep enough to suggest urgency rather than decoration. The letters may have marked a name, a warning, or a promise forgotten by time.
One of seven ogham stones (KD032-044001- to KD032-044007-) recorded by Macalister (1945, 29-30 (24 – No. VI)) at 'Killeen Cormac' burial ground (KD032-044----). Described as a piece of granite (1’ 1.5” x 1’ 7” x 1’ 3” [c. 0.34m x 0.48m x 0.38m]) dug out of the SSW side of the mound, and inscribed with the letters UR in large, bold scores.
