What is recorded here

Fifteen ogham stones emerged from a buried passage inside the Ballyknock North ringfort, yet only this one bears a readable name: CRONUN MAC BAIT. A fracture after the final T may have swallowed the rest of the sentence, leaving Cronun half-erased even before history forgot him. He stands now in the Stone Corridor at University College Cork, no longer hidden under earth but still incomplete, as if waiting for someone to finish what the break took away.

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 CO055-007012-) and currently on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork. The inscription was read by Macalister (1945, 89, no. 90) and McManus (2004, 19, no. 16.) as CRONUN MAC BAIT. A fracture after the final T may have obscured further letters.
