Ogham stone (present location) in Cork City

Ogham stone (present location)

What is recorded here

In 1845, a man-made underground passage in a Barrahaurin ringfort in Co. Cork yielded a 1.42m ogham stone, now permanently displayed in the Stone Corridor at University College Cork. Macalister read the inscription as CARRTTACC GAQI MU CAGG[I], while McManus offered a different interpretation. The stone survives as a rare physical voice from a buried world, carrying a name or claim that still resists full understanding.
This ogham stone (CO050-045003-; 1.42m x 0.38m x 0.1m, converted from Macalister 1945) was found in a Man-made underground passage (CO050-045002-) in a ringfort (CO050-045001-) in Barrahaurin, Co. Cork in 1845 and is currently on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork. Macalister (1945, 102-3, no. 103) read the inscription as CARRTTACC GAQI MU CAGG[I]; McManus (1991, 65 and 2004, 14-15, no. 1).
