What is recorded here

Under Monataggart, four ogham stones stood upright inside a man-made passage, turning a hidden chamber into a place of markers rather than burial. This one, still legible though rough, bears the name Broiniendas and now rests in the National Museum of Ireland, pulled from that strange underground room into public sight.

This stone (1.88m; 0.35m x 0.26m) is one of two ogham stones (see also CO061-022003-) discovered in a Man-made underground passage (CO061-022001-) where it formed one of the 'upright stones' (Quarry 1896, 382). Two other ogham stones (CO061-022002-, CO061-022005-) were also discovered at this site. This stone was purchased by the Royal Irish Academy and is now part of the collection of the National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-368----). According to Macalister (1945, 119, no. 120), the 'inscription [is] perfectly legible, though the surface of the stone is rather rough'. He gave the inscription as BROINIENAS KOI NETA TTRENALUGOS; McManus (1991, 66) had difficulty reading the final U, O and S. (Power et al. 1997, no. 7980) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
