What is recorded here

One of two ogham stones at Tullaherin, the tall grey block stands beside the medieval church where a round tower still rises. It was carried from Loughboreen and set as a gate pier, yet its cut marks still trace a name lost to time. The church, graveyard and tower have watched the same field for centuries, keeping the stone visible instead of buried.

Upstanding in the graveyard (KK025-062002-) of Tullaherin, immediately S of the S wall of the nave of the medieval church (KK024-062001-), at the W end. One of two ogham stones (see also KK024-006005-) at this early church site, which also has a round tower (KK024-062004-). Although this stone was found at Loughboreen, Co. Kilkenny it is believed to have originated at Tullaherin. Measuring 1.56m high x 0.51m x 0.26m, the stone was used as a gate pier and has a metal bar inserted at the top. The inscription is badly damaged (particularly the vowels) and what survives reads: D[ ... ]T M[U]C[OI ... ]R[ ... ]G[ ... ]N. (McManus 1997, 75) 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.
