What is recorded here

Five of the seven Kilgrovan stones went to Mount Melleray Abbey, but this one and a companion crossed to the National Museum of Ireland. It measures 0.98m x 0.42m x 0.13m, has lost a portion, and still carries the partial name U MAQI CUMOGODUU MUCO. What the church at Kilgrovan was doing with seven marked stones instead of one remains unclear.
