Ogham stone (present location)

What is recorded here

Camp (KE036-083----) in Beaufort (KE036-083----) is an ogham stone (present location) in Beaufort (KE036-083----). It stands beside a woodland path on the west bank of the Laune River, south-east of Beaufort House. The stone is 1.25 metres high, 0.48 metres wide and 0.2 metres thick, facing north-south. A hole near the top hints that it once worked as a gatepost. Its rough surface hides most of the writing, leaving only fragments of a name and a second faded mark behind stone and time.
Standing beside a woodland path on the W bank of the Laune River to the SE of Beaufort House. This is the present location of an ogham stone found near Camp (KE036-083----), on the Dingle peninsula, about the middle of the 19th century. It stands 1.25m high and is .48m wide x .2m thick and is currently orientated NS. A perforation near the top of the stone suggests that it may at one time have functioned as a gatepost. The surface of the stone is very rough and the inscription, particularly the vowels, is not easy to read. Macalister (1945, 169, no. 177) interpreted it as: CCILARI AV(I) ....COI VAG... Traces of a 2nd inscription are discernible near the top of one of the opposite angles. The letters ANI remain.
