What is recorded here

Ogham stones are ancient Irish edge-writing, often marking graves or claiming land. One emerged in Coolineagh when a church fell in 1838, carrying a damaged name that scholars still argue. It left the graveyard and now stands in a university corridor, pulling that forgotten moment into the light.

Discovered in 1838 during the demolition of an 18th century Church of Ireland parish church in Aghabulloge graveyard (CO061-080002-). It is one of two ogham stones from the site, the second (CO061-080005-) remains in situ. This stone is currently on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork (for details see CO074-142---- ). It is in a damaged condition but was read by Macalister (1945, 105-6, no. 105) as ANM NETACUNAS CELI VIDETTAS; McManus (1991, 95; 2004, 21, no. 23) considered the first two words 'a rash reconstruction', whilst Power (1932, 21) was of the opinion that it was 'useless speculating as to the original inscription'.
