Ogham stone in Knockagarrane

Ogham stone

What is recorded here

This ogham stone was discovered in the late 1970s by Maurice Foley while working on the foundations of a house. It is c. 70m north of a Man-made underground passage (KE057-112----). It is currently leaning against a pillar in the corner of the garden beside the house (KE057-113----). The inscription is fragmentary but appears to read: ...NA?R?... SEGGILLO?N. Nothing can be made out on the left hand angle. The A after the initial N at the top of the stone could be just damage to the stone and 3 of the scores of the following R are damaged. There may be one or two letters missing between R and S. There is a spall at the bottom of the stone which could have taken a final A. The is another spall on the arris at the second L and following it, removing whatever vowel notches were present. There would be space for 3 but 2 would seem more likely.
