Ogham stone (present location) in Coomlogane

Ogham stone (present location)

What is recorded here

Coomlogane is the present location for one of two ogham stones discovered in 1981 when quarrying uncovered a man-made underground passage within a ringfort. The stone, measuring 1.90m x .40m x .15m, acted as a lintel in chamber 2 before moving to Millstreet Community School and later Millstreet Museum. Its inscription reads downwards as COLMANN MACI COMGGANN, a name preserved from the dark passage where it once spanned the ceiling.
This is the present location for one of two ogham stones (see CO039-062004- and CO039-062005-) discovered in 1981 when a Man-made underground passage (CO039-062002-) within a ringfort (CO039-062001-) was uncovered during quarrying. The site was subsequently excavated and the two stones which acted as lintels in chamber 2 of the Man-made underground passage, were removed to Millstreet Community School. This stone (1.90m x .40m x .15m) was subsequently moved to Millstreet Museum where it is on display. The inscription on this stone was visible when the lintel was in place (pers. comm. B. O Donnabháin). It reads downwards in it’s current position as follows: COLMANN MACI COMGGANN. (Power et al. 1997, no. 7976) Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 27 September 2017
