Ogham stone (present location) in Cork City

On display in Cork Public Museum. This cross-slab, which also bears an ogham inscription, was discovered in the 1940s near Kilbrittain (Lankford 1993, 12-13). Its original location (CO123-081----) is unknown. It consists of a flat-topped block of sandstone (0.56m x 0.28m x 0.2m) with a large Latin cross with expanded terminals on one face. The deeply cut ogham inscription along one edge has been read as TE-CORMAQ (ibid.). Damage to the lower portion of the stone indicates that it may have been part of a larger pillar stone (ibid.).
