What is recorded here

Half a metre of ghost marble stands in Tullaherin, its top broken and lost, guarding a name reduced to VI[R] and silence. The round tower looms nine paces away, witnessing centuries of rain and forgetting. What the stone remembers, it will not say.

Upstanding in the graveyard (KK024-062002-) of Tullaherin, immediately S of the S wall of the nave of the medieval church (KK024-062001-), towards the W end. One of two ogham stones (see also KK024-062009-) at this early church site, which also has a round tower (KK024-062004-). This stone (0.7m x 0.51m x 0.27m, converted from Macalister 1945, 39, no. 35) was discovered standing close to the S wall of the church and 'nine paces' from the round tower (Prim 1854, 87). Macalister (1945, 39-40) recorded it as 'the stump of a pillar stone...the top of the stone is broken off and lost'. All that remains of the inscription is a handful of scores on one angle, which he renders as VI[R]... . 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.
