What is recorded here

One ogham stone lies flat on the chancel wall at Aghadoe, its broken edges joined with cement and its name cut along the top edge where anyone passing can read it. It sits between a crucifixion plaque and an old architectural fragment, half hidden in the rebuilt wall yet still proud enough to mark the place. Whether the name is BRRUANANN or BRRENANN, the stone has survived being broken, moved and set into a living church, carrying a personal identity into ordinary sight.

This is the present location of an ogham stone (KE066-016005- and/ or KE066-016010-) on top of the S wall of the chancel of Aghadoe church (KE066-016001-) between a crucifixion plaque (KE066-016007-) to its E and an architectural fragment (KE066-016008-) to its W. The stone (L 1.5m; Wth 0.7m; T 0.18m) is embedded horizontally into, and slightly raised above, the upper surface of the rebuilt S wall of the chancel. It is broken into three pieces and has been repaired with cement. The ogham inscription is along the N edge of the stone, as it is embedded. According to Macalister (1945, 237, no. 242), the inscription reads 'BRRUANANN'. However, McManus (1997, 121) read: BRRENANN. This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
