What is recorded here

Fifteen ogham stones emerged from a hidden underground passage inside the Ballyknock North ringfort, yet this worn marker now occupies the Stone Corridor at University College Cork. Its chipped edge still carries the name Bogai son of Biraco, preserving a personal identity long after the earth swallowed the chamber. The stone traveled from a forgotten local landscape into a public university space, forcing modern passersby to confront an ancient Irish voice instead of letting it disappear beneath soil and time.

One of 15 ogham stones found in a Man-made underground passage (CO055-007003-) in a ringfort (CO055-007001-) at Ballyknock North, Co Cork (see CO055-007011-) and currently on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork. The inscription is pocked on the dexter edge and the top; worn and slightly chipped. Macalister's final reading (1945, 88-9, no. 89) is BOGAI MAQI BIRACO and McManus' (2004, 16 no. 7.) is BOgaI MAQI BIrAC... .
