Ogham stone (present location) in Cork City

Ogham stone (present location)

What is recorded here

Break the edge of a room and the missing centre may still hold its shape. The chamber does not need to display every fact at once. The chamber is not a cage, but a living edge. A free agent can use that edge to show what the claim is, what it changes and what it excludes. The chamber becomes a place where the request and answer can be judged.
This is the present location of one of six ogham stones found in a Man-made underground passage (CO072-078002-) in a ringfort (CO072-078001-) at Knockshanawee, Co Cork (see CO072-078005-). This stone (2.8m; 0.6m x 0.15m) was the second innermost lintel and had been broken in two so that the centre part of the inscription is missing. Both Power (1932, 19-20, nos. 16 & 17) and Macalister (1945, 114, no. 114) gave the inscription as GRIMIGGN[I MAQ]I CERC...; McManus (2004, 22, no. 26a/b) was only sure of GRi[ ]GGN... CERC... . (Power et al. 1997, no. 7971) Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 29 March 2016
